Problem with <#include> directive

[eysman]

hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with the include directive in ofbiz. I'm doing a simple <#include "file.ftl"> command, but getting back a FileNotFoundException. The file is definetly where it should be, and I'm using the same code base as a few co-workers of mine, but I'm the only one experiencing this issue.

Has anyone come across this problem and can help me out?

Much appreciated,

John

Freemarker will assume the included file is in the same folder as the
file that contains the include directive. If the file is located
somewhere else, then you will have to supply a complete pathname or URL.

The file is located in the same directory, but Freemarker can't find it. I've also tried relative and absolute paths just for the sake of it and neither way works.

Make sure the include directive has the file name in the correct case.
Sometimes problems like that are caused by the underlying OS and how it
handles filenames.

Windows: file.ftl == File.Ftl
Unix: file.ftl != File.Ftl

I guess you have included the freemarker handler

<handler name="ftl" type="view"
class="org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.FreeMarkerViewHandler"/>

If not then you need to include the common-controller.xml, in your
controller, as below

<include
location="component://common/webcommon/WEB-INF/common-controller.xml"/>

common controller includeds all the event / view handlers.

Thanks Adrian,

The files are named correctly and are in the correct directory. I'm quite certain it has something to do with the configuration of OFBiz and not the implementation.

I have included that handler in common-controller.xml, but I'm still having the same problem as before.

I created a file called test.ftl and included it using

<#include "test.ftl"/>

and it works fine. I am unable to reproduce the problem you are having.
