Thank for your help :)
With some research i managed to understand a bit more what's happening. You
are right that
the VelocityViewServlet wasn't used here. Struts2 have his own velocity
config. So i added in my struts.xml file :
struts.xml
----------------
<constant name="struts.velocity.toolboxlocation"
value="WEB-INF/toolbox.xml" />
<constant name="struts.velocity.configfile"
value="WEB-INF/velocity.properties" />
--------------
Now everything seems to load correctly.
About the loader path, i work for me since I'm not using standard web
archive. My war is just a folder with the .war extension, that allow jboss
to deploy its content on boot. But i recognize it must not be a common way
to go :p
So now i understand how my templates are rendered using struts2 velocity's
engine, but I'm still getting an error when calling any url.
here's the stack trace :
----------------------------------
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.velocity.tools.view.context.ChainedContext.<init>(Lorg/apache/velocity/context/Context;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;Ljavax/servlet/ServletContext;)V
org.apache.struts2.views.velocity.VelocityManager.createContext(VelocityManager.java:193)

com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.executeResult(DefaultActionInvocation.java:348)
com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.invoke(DefaultActionInvocation.java:253)
...
--------------------
I found that this constructor has been removed since velocity tools 1.3...
Do i need to use an older version (< 1.3) with struts2, or is there any way
to work around this with current 1.4 ?
Thanx ;-)
