Hi Leon,
Sorry I think I wasn't clear. I do not wish to use Velocity, all my
views are Freemarker or JSP based. I have found that it seems to be the
Struts2 Sitemesh plugin that causes problems. As soon as I declare it
then I get NoClassDefFound problems until I manually add the Velocity
dependencies? Are they needed to run the Sitemesh plugin? They are
marked as optional in the plugin POM and I would rather not have to
include them.
Thanks,
Martin.

Subject: Re: Velocity dependency
Hi there,
i had to do the following things in order to add full velocity support.
The issue is that in struts2 even if you have to parse a velocity file,
it has to be a result of an action. So in order to be able to parse
velocity files even if they are not result of an action :
Add the following to web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>velocity</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.velocity.tools.view.servlet.VelocityViewServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- if you want another file mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>velocity</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.shtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Add the following jar files to lib folder :
velocity-dep-1.4.jar
velocity-tools-1.1.jar
Regards,
Leon
