getResource

Resource getResource(String resourceName,
                     int resourceType,
                     String encoding)
                     throws ResourceNotFoundException,
                            ParseErrorException,
                            Exception

Gets the named resource. Returned class type corresponds to specified type (i.e. Template to RESOURCE_TEMPLATE).

Parameters:

resourceName - The name of the resource to retrieve.

resourceType - The type of resource (RESOURCE_TEMPLATE, RESOURCE_CONTENT, etc.).

encoding - The character encoding to use.

Returns:

Resource with the template parsed and ready.

Throws:

ResourceNotFoundException - if template not found from any available source.

ParseErrorException - if template cannot be parsed due to syntax (or other) error.

Exception - if a problem in parse

getLoaderNameForResource

String getLoaderNameForResource(String resourceName)

Determines is a template exists, and returns name of the loader that provides it. This is a slightly less hokey way to support the Velocity.templateExists() utility method, which was broken when per-template encoding was introduced. We can revisit this.

Parameters:

resourceName - Name of template or content resource

Returns:

class name of loader than can provide it
