This is a common error for people new to Velocity. You are required to =
set a
root that Velocity will initialize the engine with. Every other =
template you
target, must be in that directory or a subdirectory. You can then =
define the
files and subdirectories as part of the target file as such:

ex.=20
	Given this directory structure...=20
D:\
 |
 |- mytemplate.vm
 |- myDirectory
         |
         |- mySubDirTemplate.vm


Initializing the engine to "d:/", then allows you to merge the =
following
templates.

"mytemplate.vm"
"myDirectory/mySubDirTemplate.vm"

NOTE: While switching drive letters is currently not supported for =
target
files, on
UNIX systems, this is probably not much of an issue.

Hi! i'm writing a new application using Velocity as
my template engine but i'm having the following problem.

When i try to execute my application i get:

org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find
resource 'paises.vm'

My 'vm' file is located at root level in the context=20
(.../tomcat/webapps/myapplication/paises.vm)
and i'm trying to merge it from my java code using a line
like this:

Velocity.mergeTemplate("paises.vm",ctx,somethingHTML);

Where is Velocity trying to find the vm file?
Is this an absolute path? is it configurable?

Thanks in advance, regards:
