[stringtemplate-interest] proper stringtemplate loading from a webapp

[Dave Rafkind]

Hi list, I apologize if this question has been answered before, I'm
having trouble getting good list search results out of google. But anyways:

The normal StringTemplateGroup constructor looks like:

StringTemplateGroup stg = new StringTemplateGroup(name,hard_coded_path);

I'd like to avoid hardcoding that path in my web application, and
instead create a custom template loader to get at the files the "right"
way which would be something like (from in a servlet):

  context = getServletContext();
  URL templateRoot = context.getResource("/templates");
  StringTemplateGroup stg =
    new StringTemplateGroup(name, templateRoot);

which would use templateRoot.getUrlConnection() to get the
stringtemplate files instead of a File() object.

How would I go about doing such a thing?


Thanks,
Dave
