Problems finding template

2013-02-19 Thread Garey Mills

Hello -

I am writing a web app that starts a thread to perform some 
operations that take too much time to require the user to wait for them.


In that thread, I am trying to use Velocity to write out some data 
into a template. I start a VelocityEngine, init it, create a Velocity 
Context
and then call mergeTemplate.  The problem is that I am at a loss about 
how to specify the location of the template. I have it in a directory
called 'templates' in the root directory of my web app, but neither 
'/templates/' or 'templates/ works. Investigating
a little, I find that the current working directory is in tomcat's bin 
directory.


Is there somewhere to specify where Velocity Engine should look for 
templates?
