It works just as well as the WebappResourceLoader in VelocityTools 2.x, because it is the same class, just renamed to properly fit the conventions for resource loader naming. really, there is no need for the FileResourceLoader. just change the param-name above and add this to your velocity.properties: webapp.resource.loader.path = /template/ that should do the trick. > Thanks > Roger > > > > > > > *********************************************************************************** > The Royal Bank of Scotland plc.
