I am using the VelocityViewServlet. I tried specifying the template folder as part of setting the default path in this code:protected ExtendedProperties loadConfiguration(ServletConfig config) throws IOException { ExtendedProperties p = new ExtendedProperties(); String path = config.getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); if (path == null){ path = "/"; } p.setProperty(Velocity.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH, path+"\\templates\\"); return p; }
no, the VelocityViewServlet doesn't use the FileResourceLoader, it uses the WebappLoader. you also don't need to override loadConfiguration() method. just create a velocity.properties file at "/WEB-INF/velocity.properties" that contains the line: webapp.resource.loader.path = /templates (or something like that) oh, and be sure that you are using VelocityTools 1.3, as the earlier versions require you to tell the VelocityViewServlet where your velocity.properties file is located explicitly. the default location is new to 1.3.
But that didn't seem to work. If I put all the templates in the webapp root, everything is dandy but it does not seem to like the way I am specifying the template path. Also, I had to put the double backslashes because I am on a windows env. BTW, I searched for the WebappLoader tool but could not find it. Could you send me the URL? Thanks.
if you are using the VelocityViewServlet, it uses it by default. javadoc is here: http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/1.3/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/view/servlet/WebappLoader.html

The VelocityServlet (which is deprecated) or the VelocityViewServlet (which is part of VelocityTools and is the replacement for the VelocityServlet)? - Use of the FileResourceLoader in a webapp environment is not recommended. The VelocityTools project comes with a WebappLoader that is much better for webapps. - If your templates are in /webapp/templates, then that is where you should point the resource loader; it would not be enough to point it at the webapp root and expect it to look for a "templates" folder automatically. - For examples of how to configure and use the VelocityViewServlet, you might consider checking out the example applications that come with VelocityTools.
