Loading velocity template inside a jar file

Question

I have a project where I want to load a velocity template to complete it with parameters. The whole application is packaged as a jar file. What I initially thought of doing

Answer 1

If you want to use resources from classpath, you should use resource loader for classpath:

ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RESOURCE_LOADER, "classpath"); 
ve.setProperty("classpath.resource.loader.class", ClasspathResourceLoader.class.getName());
