How to load StringTemplateGroups from the WEB-INF directory of a web archive

Question

this question is somewhat related to this question: StackOverflow: Howto load a resource from WEB-INF directory of a web archive

I want to use StringTemplate and want to load my templates via a StringTemplateGroup. Until know I use the method shown in the related question to get single files from the WEB-INF folder, but as I read here , it is considered bad practice to load the templates via a path as the application could be inside a WAR file AND I can not use the StringTemplateGroup because of the path.

Is there a way to achieve this that you would recommend? Can I get the entire folder as a stream-like object for the StringTemplateGroup to read or is there a decent (and not so hackish) way already implemented in StringTemplate?

I am somewhat new to Java but willing to learn :) Thank you very much in advance.

您可以将context paht的属性添加到JVM运行时参数中，例如，在Tomcat容器中，将参数-DcontextPath = [somewhere]添加到startup.sh文件中，然后通过System.getProperty获取上下文的路径（“contextPath” “）。上下文路径也可以从Tomcat中的-Dcatalina.base获取。
