[jira] Commented: (WW-2920) Parent theme could not be found when customize template dir

["Carlos Costa e Silva (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Carlos Costa e Silva commented on WW-2920:
------------------------------------------


I had a similar problem: put the template under webroot "/templates/struts" <constant name="struts.ui.templateDir" value="tempaltes/struts" /> and struts started complaining about not finding temlates that exist only in the simple theme.

Checking, this happens because BaseTemplateEngine.getThemeProps(Template template) does not find the themes.properties file. Looking at the code, the theme.properties file has to be in the classpath: putting the templates under /WEB-INF/classes/templates/strutsand and set <constant name="struts.ui.templateDir" value="templates/struts" /> fixed the problem.

(Note: this was under 2.1.6)

Question: should templates outside the classpath work?
