What version of Velocity are you using? Do you have the velocity.jar in your WEB-INF/lib directory (or is it in your container classpath)?
If you use Classpath resource loader, then you can put the template in WEB-INF/classes. Note that the template path should not start with a slash. Velocity always loads VM_global_library.vm when it starts up. But it doesn't load it every time. I suspect this is a red herring. WILL On 7/12/07, Joe Kramer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have same problem with WebApp loader, while template is copied in every folder of webapp, it's still not found. I think it might be bug (?) in Velocity, trying to load VM_global_library.vm instead of my template and always returning "not found" On 7/12/07, Malcolm Edgar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Please look at the WebappLoader which is a part of the apache Velocity Tools > project is great for web applications. > > Otherwise you can try the Click Framework, which has all this stuff built > in. > > regards Malcolm Edgar > http://click.sourceforge.net/ > > On 7/12/07, Joe Kramer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello, > > I've spent good 10 hours trying to load template in webapp. > > First I tried > > resource.loader= file > > and putting template into any posible directory, WEB-INF, classes, > > lib, web app root. > > Also tried to use > > resource.loader=class > > Putting template in all possible places.
