camel-velocity can't find resource

I'm learning how to use Apache Velocity with Apache Camel (in Karaf) to host dynamic webpages, but when I try to include a velocity file inside another one, I get a resource error even though they are in the same directory.

If I remove the line #parse("${page}.vm") from the first file, everything works as expected.

Here is my entire setup. Aside from installing camel-velocity and jetty-9, everything not listed here is the default ServiceMix 7.0.0 setup.

Camel Route

<route id="web_route">
  <from uri="jetty:http://localhost:8080/test?sessionSupport=true&amp;matchOnUriPrefix=true"/>
  <to uri="velocity:file:web/vm/webpage.vm?contentCache=false"/>
</route>

/web/vm/webpage.vm contents

Hello sir $!{headers.name}! Welcome to the VM World!
#set($page="$headers.CamelHttpUrl")
#set($page="$page.substring($page.lastIndexOf('/')).substring(1)")
#parse("${page}.vm")

/web/vm/hello.vm contents

Hello World!

localhost:8080/test/hello

So why can't it import hello.vm?

Solution

  • I found out that #parse() and #include() reference files relative to %karaf_home%, not the current directory. So if you want to include a resource at %karaf_home%/web/vm/hello.vm, you have to use #include("/web/vm/hello.vm").
