public class WebappTemplateLoader extends Object implements TemplateLoader
TemplateLoader
that uses streams reachable through
ServletContext.getResource(String)
as its source of templates.Constructor and Description |
---|
WebappTemplateLoader(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext)
Creates a resource template cache that will use the specified servlet
context to load the resources.
|
WebappTemplateLoader(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
String subdirPath)
Creates a template loader that will use the specified servlet
context to load the resources.
|
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
void |
closeTemplateSource(Object templateSource)
Closes the template source.
|
Object |
findTemplateSource(String name)
Finds the template in the backing storage and returns an object that identifies the storage location where the
template can be loaded from.
|
long |
getLastModified(Object templateSource)
Returns the time of last modification of the specified template source.
|
Reader |
getReader(Object templateSource,
String encoding)
Returns the character stream of a template represented by the specified
template source.

Boolean |
getURLConnectionUsesCaches()
Getter pair of
setURLConnectionUsesCaches(Boolean) . |
void |
setURLConnectionUsesCaches(Boolean urlConnectionUsesCaches)
It does the same as
URLTemplateLoader.setURLConnectionUsesCaches(Boolean) ; see there. |

name
- The name of the template, already localized and normalized by the
cache
. It is completely up to the loader implementation to
interpret the name, however it should expect to receive hierarchical paths where path components are
separated by a slash (not backslash). Backslashes (or any other OS specific separator character) are
not considered as separators by FreeMarker, and thus they will not be replaced with slash before
passing to this method, so it's up to the template loader to handle them (say, be throwing and
exception that tells the user that the path (s)he has entered is invalid, as (s)he must use slash --
typical mistake of Windows users). The passed names are always considered relative to some
loader-defined root location (often referred as the "template root directory"), and will never start
with a slash, nor will they contain a path component consisting of either a single or a double dot --
these are all resolved by the template cache before passing the name to the loader. As a side effect,
paths that trivially reach outside template root directory, such as ../my.ftl, will be
rejected by the template cache, so they never reach the template loader. Note again, that if the path
uses backslash as path separator instead of slash as (the template loader should not accept that), the
normalization will not properly happen, as FreeMarker (the cache) recognizes only the slashes as
separators.TemplateLoader.getLastModified(Object)

. null
must be returned if the source for the template doesn't exist;
don't throw exception then! The exact type of this object is up to the TemplateLoader
implementation. As this object is possibly used as hash key in caches, and is surly compared with another
template source for equality, it must have a proper Object.equals(Object)
and
Object.hashCode()
) implementation. Especially, template sources that refer to the same
physical source must be equivalent, otherwise template caching can become inefficient. This is only
expected from Object.equals(Object)
when the compared template sources came from the same
TemplateLoader
instance. Also, it must not influence the equality if the source is open or
closed (TemplateLoader.closeTemplateSource(Object)
).IOException
- When an error occurs that makes it impossible to find out if the template exists, or to access the
existing template. Don't throw exception if the template doesn't exist, instead return with

TemplateLoader
Reader
that
reads the template from its beginning. Before this method is called for the
second time (or later), its caller must close the previously returned
Reader
, and it must not use it anymore. That is, this method is not
required to support multiple concurrent readers for the same source
templateSource
object.
Typically, this method is called if the template is missing from the cache,
or if after calling TemplateLoader.findTemplateSource(String)
and TemplateLoader.getLastModified(Object)
it was determined that the cached copy of the template is stale. Then, if it turns out that the
encoding
parameter passed doesn't match the actual template content, this method will be called for a
second time with the correct encoding
parameter value.
