Hi,
I have a batch application that is using velocity create the content for
emails.
I keep getting an "" when trying to merge a template that contains a
"#parse" statement. I don't have this problem on a Web Application that
uses an identical Spring Context Config to create a velocity bean.
Questions:
1. How do I figure where velocity is looking for the file reference by
the #parse statement? If I knew where velocity expects to find it I can
fix the problem.
2. The Velocity User Guide says that files referenced by #parse must be
under the TEMPLATE_ROOT directory. How do I sent the TEMPLATE_ROOT
directory? How do I determine the location of the TEMPLATE_ROOT
directory when my application is up and running?
Thanks
