Setting default content-type in VelocityViewServlet

[Christopher Schultz-2]

All,

I have been unable to find the documentation on what property to set to
change the default content-type set by the VelocityViewServlet (and
VelocityLayoutServlet). Can someone point me to the right place?

Thanks,
-chris

http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/1.4/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/view/servlet/VelocityViewServlet.html#setContentType(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,%20javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)

or

http://velocity.markmail.org/search/default%20content%20type%20VelocityViewServlet?page=1

not exactly easy to find if you're browsing around, sorry.

the default.contentType property works for both Tools 1.x and 2.0.

Yeah, not so much. It would be good if there was a collection of
configuration properties, maybe in a table on a web page.

It's not clear where to set this "property":

"
The default implementation is :

     response.setContentType(defaultContentType);


where defaultContentType is set to the value of the default.contentType
property, or "text/html" if that is not set.
"


I set 'default.contentType=text/xml' in velocity.properties and the
default content type appears not to have changed from the text/html default.

:(

Any suggestions?

While the above statement is true, the one below is not:

I was editing velocity.properties in the wrong project. :(

It's a crappy day in DC, so my brain isn't working very well. Sorry!

That would rock.  wanna help?  if someone got it started, i'd be happy
to jump in.

when in doubt, put it in velocity.properties.  though, yeah, some
things are in web.xml.  hmm.  i suppose we ought to do some
consistifying.

Sure. What's the best way to do that? Wiki? Web page in the site? If the
web would be better, how do I change stuff there?

Since you can, it's probably best to put it in the distributed docs,
since the wiki is harder to version and distribute.  Just check out
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/tools/trunk and make the
changes in the xdocs there.  You should probably put the table into
the xdocs/view.xml page, since most settings are for all VelocityView
uses (VVS, VLS, and veltag) then perhaps we can add separate tables
(which have links back to the main one) on xdocs/view.servlet.xml for
VVS-specific properties, on xdocs/view.layout.xml for VLS properties.
Veltag is a bit different, as it's specific properties are set via tag
attributes and not velocity.properties or web.xml.  Still, i suppose
we could document those too.

Really, though, the bulk of configuration possibilities are at the
VelocityView level.  So, i'd just start there and not worry about the
rest right away.

I just updated to Velocity 1.5 and I am using the Log4JLogChute as my logsystem class. I am wanting to use the default configuration.  The issue I am having is my velocity.log file max size is around 120KB before it starts over.  How can I increase the file size to 25MB using velocity.properties?

Snippet of my velocity.properties file:
runtime.log.logsystem.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogChute
runtime.log.invalid.references = false

* Changing this size doesn't seem to help within my application
runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.file.size=2500000

Thanks,
John

I looked in the Log4JLogChute class and found the appender.setMaximumFileSize(100000) that explains the file size.  I have defined the property runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.logger in velocity.properties with my logger and no longer use the runtime.log property.  Works like a charm.
