Correct documentation of Configuring Resource Loaders
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-780
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-780
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: Task
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 1.6.4
Reporter: Rafał Miłecki
I spent whole day fighting with my first "hello world"
VelocityViewServlet-based servlet. I was struggling with:
org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException
For following dumb code:
protected Template getTemplate(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) {
return getTemplate("test.vm");
}
1)
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.6.4/developer-guide.html#Velocity_Configuration_Keys_and_Values
claims following:
resource.loader = <name> (default = file)
As the result I was trying to use following configuration:
file.resource.loader.path = WEB-INF/vmtemplates
2)
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.6.4/developer-guide.html#Configuring%5FResource%5FLoaders
doesn't mention "webapp" (which seems to be default btw)
The correct solution for me was to change
file.resource.loader.path = WEB-INF/vmtemplates
to
webapp.resource.loader.path = WEB-INF/vmtemplates
I don't know Velocity enough yet, so can not really write correct docs. Would
be great if someone could clear this part.
