Put your files in /WEB-INF/classes, and try "/" in front of your path, e.g.

> I am writing a web application. I want to use StringTemplate to generate

> Each skin would use a different set of templates to display the HTML.

> My initial impression is that I'd use a different StringTemplateGroup 
> for each skin. I imagined a file structure like this...
>
> skins/redtheme/page.st
> skins/redtheme/etc.st
> skins/bluetheme/page.st
> skins/bluetheme/etc.st
>
> ...the code would be something like...
>
> skinName = "redtheme";
> group = new StringTemplateGroup(skinName, "skins");
> group.getInstanceOf("page");
> group.getInstanceOf("etc");
>
> This works fine on the filesystem. Now I zip my application up into a 
> WAR file and suddenly the templates cannot be found. Next I think I 
> should look up templates using the classpath. StringTemplate 
> documentation leads me to think I need to use code like this...
>
> skinName = "redtheme";
> group = new StringTemplateGroup("allSkins");
> group.getInstanceOf("skins/" + skinName + "/page");
> group.getInstanceOf("skins/" + skinName + "/etc");
>
> There is no "rootDir" when using the classpath, so I cannot use the a 
> StringTemplateGroup for each skin, like I could on the filesystem.
