spring-2.5.2 and velocity-tools-1.4 everything, property, loading, because

amy

Hello.
I upgraded from spring-1.2.9 to spring-2.5.2 and everything seems to be working fine except for the loading of my velocity templates.  I upgraded velocity-tools from 1.2 to 1.4 because the Spring Javadocs say 1.3 or greater as there were some small changes to velocity-tools after 1.2.

This is in my applicationContext.xml and has not changed:Code:   lt;bean id=quot;velocityConfigurerquot; class=quot;org..web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurerquot;gt;       lt;property name=quot;resourceLoaderPathquot; value=quot;quot;/gt;       lt;property name=quot;velocityPropertiesquot;gt;lt;propsgt;    lt;prop key=quot;velocimacro.libraryquot;gt;/includes/macros.vmlt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;velocimacro.library.autoreloadquot;gt;truelt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;velocimacro.permissions.allow.inlinequot;gt;truelt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.to.replace.globalquot;gt;falselt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.local.scopequot;gt;falselt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;velocimacro.context.localscopequot;gt;falselt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;tools.view.servlet.error.templatequot;gt;/layouts/layout_error.vmlt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;tools.view.servlet.layout.directoryquot;gt;/layouts/lt;/propgt;    lt;prop key=quot;tools.view.servlet.layout.default.templatequot;gt;default_layout.vmlt;/propgt;lt;/propsgt;       lt;/propertygt;   lt;/beangt;
And I now get this in my logs:

Is there something I need to change?  Is there something I am doing wrong?  Has anyone else encountered this when upgrading?

Thanks a lot.Charlie

Charlie,

I think that it is just an issue of the order things are loaded.  I get that message and everything works just fine.  So, unless you are having issues with Velocity, I would not worry about it.

Steve O,
I am actually having problems.  I can't view any pages.    When I go to /index.htm it should resolve /index.vm but it doesn't.  I get basically the same error but with the new page that it does not find.

I thought about it a bit and figured out what is quot;wrongquot; but I don't know how to fix it.

In spring-1.2.x if I left quot;resourceLoaderPathquot; empty, Spring searched for templates at the root of the webapp.  Now, Spring seems to be searching for templates in my classpath instead.  So, if I put my templates in quot;/WEB-INF/classes/quot; than they will be found.  But if they are in quot;/quot; than they will not be found.  I am going to keep looking at the code to see if there is some setting I can change or if there is something I can override.

If you have any ideas let me know.  Oh, and where do you keep your templates?Charlie

Holy crap.  I can't believe this just happened:Code:   lt;bean id=quot;velocityConfigurerquot; class=quot;org..web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurerquot;gt;       lt;property name=quot;resourceLoaderPathquot; value=quot;quot;/gt;   lt;/beangt;
Has to be:

Code:   lt;bean id=quot;velocityConfigurerquot; class=quot;org..web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurerquot;gt;       lt;property name=quot;resourceLoaderPathquot; value=quot;/quot;/gt;   lt;/beangt;
The quot;/quot; made the difference.  I guess if you leave it empty it looks in the classpath.  Ridiculous.  

Well, thanks for the help.Charlie
