Re: [newby : reading velocity.properties from web.xml failed]

Hi Carsten Nichte,

  Just set the property 'file.resource.loader.path' in velocity.properties of
the velocity.jar file to the path where you want to put your template files.
Try it.

Hi to all,

im new to velocity, and have the typical starting problems:
I want to read te velocity.properties File from the web.xml.

I´ve the following configuration:

My web.xml: (in WEB-INF Folder)
---------------------------------------------
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>zerf</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>zerf.ZnSignController</servlet-class>
      <init-param>
        <param-name>properties</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/conf/velocity.properties</param-value>
      </init-param>
      <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

My velocity.properties: (in WE-INF/conf/)
---------------------------------------------

file.resource.loader.path = /templates
runtime.log = /velocity.log


My servlet does the following:
---------------------------------------------
protected Properties loadConfiguration(ServletConfig config)throws
IOException, FileNotFoundException{

String propsFile = config.getInitParameter(INIT_PROPS_KEY); // where
INIT_PROPS_KEY = "properties"

.. Result: propsFile=null;  // .... so any following code is obsolet... 

This Code-snipplet is from one of the various examples.
I dont´t understand why it doesn´t work.
What does getInitParameter() exactly.

Any solutions ???

Best regards

Carsten Nichte
