[opencms-dev] Opencms & Velocity...

[Andras Balogh]

Hello Ashok,

    I think  You are in the wrong direction. You see Velocity will look 
for files on the real file system
(i.e. harddisk) but opencms keeps the files in the VFS (i.e. the database).
So Velocity will not work in the normal way.
You will need to read the velocity template (vm) with the opencms api as 
file and use the:
Velocity.evaluate method:
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/docs/api/org/apache/velocity/app/Velocity.html#evaluate(org.apache.velocity.context.Context,%20java.io.Writer,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)

Best wishes,
Andras.
