Freemarker template not found

I'm currently trying to get Freemarker to work with my application using Spring. No matter what I try I keep getting template not found. I am not sure if I have the configuration set up properly, but it never finds my template. Here is my spring bean config:

<bean id="freemarkerConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
    <property name="templateLoaderPath" value="/WEB-INF/freemarker/"/>
</bean>

Whenever I try to call getTemplate on the freemaker configuration it always sends back a template not found error. So if I do

configuration.getTemplate(开发者_运维知识库"testTemplate.ftl") 

it always throws an IOException.

I'm not sure if anyone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for all your help!

I've just had the same kind of problem and, at the end, I decide to use the approach below:

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
FileTemplateLoader templateLoader = new FileTemplateLoader(new File(YOUR_BASE_TEMPLATE_DIR));
configuration.setTemplateLoader(templateLoader);
freemarker.template.Template template = configuration.getTemplate(YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME);
template.process(datamodel, writer);

First of all, /WEB-INF/freemarker would only work as a path from within WebApplicationContext; otherwise Spring would attempt to resolve it as file system path rather than servlet context path. Is the excerpt you've posted above from the context being loaded by DispatcherServlet?

Secondly, is there any reason why are you using configuration directly instead of using Spring's ViewResolver?

Finally, IOException can mean many different things. Can you post a full stack trace?

I think you must make sure that the file "testTemplate.ftl" is in the folder "/WEB-INF/freemarker/"

you can also set it like

    @Bean
    public FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean freemarkerConfiguration() {
        FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean bean = new FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean();
        bean.setTemplateLoaderPath("classpath:/templates/");
        return bean;
    }

In your case:

    <property name="templateLoaderPath" value="classpath:/WEB-INF/freemarker/"/>
