Cannot load my own properties file
Hi all,
tried searching the archives but everything there did not help me with
my problem. So here it comes:
here is the extract from my web.xml:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>BORC</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
borc.Borc
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>properties</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/conf/velocity.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
...
as you can see the file is there:
budwork:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/BORC/WEB-INF/conf# ls
velocity.properties
even the lib is there:
budwork:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/BORC/WEB-INF/lib# ls
velocity-1.1-rc2.jar
but the log shows:
budwork:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/BORC/WEB-INF/lib# tail -n35
/var/log/tomcat/stdout.log
org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find
resource 'org/apache/velocity/runtime/defaults/velocity.properties'
WHY?
any help is highly appreciated
kind regards

Hi,
you asked for it...
Fri Jun 15 12:45:59 CEST 2001 AvalonLogSystem initialized using logfile
/var/log/tomcat/velocity.log
Fri Jun 15 12:45:59 CEST 2001 [info] [info] Default Properties File:

Fri Jun 15 12:45:59 CEST 2001 [error] ResourceManager : unable to find
resource 'org/apache/velocity/runtime/defaults/velocity.properties' in

So he seems to read my properties file and sets the log path:
this is my propsfile

directive.foreach.counter.initial.value = 1
directive.include.output.errormsg.start = <!-- include error :
directive.include.output.errormsg.end = see error log -->
directive.parse.max.depth = 10
resource.loader = file
file.resource.loader.description = Velocity File Resource Loader
file.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader
file.resource.loader.path = /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/BORC/BORC.img

Yuck.
That's tomcats log. How about the Velocity log?
Have you tried the example/servlet_example2 just to ensure all is well?

What does your servlet do? are you just extending VelocityServlet?
Can you send us the whole log?

That last bit is pretty wild :)
The problem here is that you seem to have the hang of getRealPath(), but
you put the name of your webapp (BORC) in the path - leave it out - the
getRealPath() will return paths *relative* to BORC, so that will be
included.
Looks like it will be a documentation weekend :)

Yes, because you are using relative paths.
Try using
String goodpath = getServletContext().getRealPath('templates');
and use that as your template path, and all will be well... you will
then be independant of how and where tomcat start...

It's perfectly legit to do that. Just need to take some care - see how
examples/servlet_example2/SampleServlet2.java does it, using template
and log paths relative to webapp root...

Hi,
after setting my template load path to ../webapps/iFrameTest/templates the
loader was able to find the template, that's only when starting tomcat in
bin directory so all is relative to c:\jakarta-tomcat\bin ???
Concerning the properties file - i overloaded the loadConfiguration, read
the properties-file and returning the properties. The reason is, i read in
some other configurations (messages, application-events).

No - velocity doesn't do *anything* that you don't tell it.
Velocity can't guess what you want... when we have that technology
available, I will let you know :)
If you hand velocity paths that aren't absolute, but relative, then when
it tries to open the file it will be relative to the current working
directory, which is where tomcat was started....
Please see the examples/servlet_example2/SampleServlet2.java to see what
I am talking about.

Hi,
I have the same problem with templates - i guess velocity takes as root
where tomcat was started and not the
application e.g. BORC. I don't now why, it's very inconvient.

Hi all,
tried searching the archives but everything there did not help me with

here is the extract from my web.xml:

as you can see the file is there:

velocity.properties
even the lib is there:
budwork:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/BORC/WEB-INF/lib# ls
