java io FileNotFoundException Template ftl not found
It is very common issue while working with FreeMarker template created *.ftl not found. First thing we should do is to set classpath wherever we kept template file.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Template “JavaHonkFreeMarkerTemplate.ftl” not found
- Solution: Before using FreeMarker template you will have to set template loader and give path from where FreeMarker will load the template. In below example I have include how to set template loader and in case one path fail you could use another and example I am catching exception and loading another in catch block (It’s not preferable). In real time you definitely should know the actual path where file is available.
FreeMarketTemplateLoad.java:
package com.wfs.otc.report.util;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import freemarker.cache.FileTemplateLoader;
import freemarker.template.Configuration;
import freemarker.template.Template;
public class FreeMarketTemplateLoad {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Configuration freemarkerConfiguration = new Configuration();
FileTemplateLoader templateLoader = null;
try {
templateLoader = new FileTemplateLoader(new File("..\\config\\"));
freemarkerConfiguration.setTemplateLoader(templateLoader);
} catch (Exception e) {
try {
templateLoader = new FileTemplateLoader(new File("src/main/resources"));
freemarkerConfiguration.setTemplateLoader(templateLoader);
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
Template template = freemarkerConfiguration.getTemplate("Javahonk.ftl");
System.out.println("Template loaded successfully and name is: "+template.getName());
}
}
