Class JarResourceLoader

java.lang.Object

org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ResourceLoader

org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.JarResourceLoader

public class JarResourceLoader
extends ResourceLoader

ResourceLoader to load templates from multiple Jar files.

The configuration of the JarResourceLoader is straightforward - You simply add the JarResourceLoader to the configuration via

    resource.loaders = jar
    resource.loader.jar.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.JarResourceLoader
    resource.loader.jar.path = list of JAR <URL>s
 

So for example, if you had a jar file on your local filesystem, you could simply do

    resource.loader.jar.path = jar:file:/opt/myfiles/jar1.jar
    

Note that jar specification for the .path configuration property conforms to the same rules for the java.net.JarUrlConnection class.

For a working example, see the unit test case, org.apache.velocity.test.MultiLoaderTestCase class

Method Detail

init

public void init(ExtProperties configuration)

Called by Velocity to initialize the loader

Specified by:

init in class ResourceLoader

Parameters:

configuration -

getResourceReader

public Reader getResourceReader(String source,
                                String encoding)
                         throws ResourceNotFoundException

Get a Reader so that the Runtime can build a template with it.

Specified by:

getResourceReader in class ResourceLoader

Parameters:

source - name of template to get

encoding - asked encoding

Returns:

InputStream containing the template

Throws:

ResourceNotFoundException - if template not found in the file template path.

Since:

2.0

isSourceModified

public boolean isSourceModified(Resource resource)

Description copied from class: ResourceLoader

Given a template, check to see if the source of InputStream has been modified.

Specified by:

isSourceModified in class ResourceLoader

Returns:

True if the resource has been modified.

See Also:

ResourceLoader.isSourceModified(org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.Resource)

getLastModified

public long getLastModified(Resource resource)

Description copied from class: ResourceLoader

Get the last modified time of the InputStream source that was used to create the template. We need the template here because we have to extract the name of the template in order to locate the InputStream source.

Specified by:

getLastModified in class ResourceLoader

Returns:

Time in millis when the resource has been modified.

ResourceLoader.getLastModified(org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.Resource)
