如何在Google App Engine中使用StringTemplate文件？

Question

I'm trying to use StringTemplate in Google App Engine to load a template from a file, but I cannot figure out where to put my template files.

The documentation says that StringTemplate will "Look for templates in CLASSPATH as resources" but I'm not sure what that means in terms of a GAE deployment.

For example, suppose I put my templates in a directory called "templates", and put code like this in my servlet:

StringTemplateGroup group = new StringTemplateGroup("mygroup", "templates");
StringTemplate st = group.getInstanceOf("homepage");

Then where do I put the "templates" directory?

Answer 1

It turns out that it works to put the "templates" directory in your "war" directory.

This works locally and deployed to GAE (for me, anyway).

Answer 2

Your "war/WEB-INF/lib" will certainly be on the classpath . Not sure how appropriate it is to have templates there, though.

Also take a look at this SO question .

Answer 3

Put them in the root directory of your war/WEB-INF/classes directory and they will wind up in your classpath. If you're using maven to build you can put them in src/main/resources and they will be copied to your classpath at the root.
