    • Priority: Medium

    • Component/s: Installation
    • Environment:

      Unexploded WAR on Windows

    • 3.07

      Assembling the path to a velocity macro using the file-system specific separator fails on Windows when the velocity template is in a WAR. We need to load it using a URL and the URL syntax is always forward-slash ( / ), back-slash ( \ ) makes it fail.

      The effect of this is that the comment or worklog issue tab panels fail to load if there are no comments or work logs. A message "Velocity template generation failed." is printed instead. First seen on WebLogic 8.1 SP4 and SP6.

      An example stacktrace from Weblogic 8.1 SP6 running JIRA 3.6.5:

      2007-02-02 18:41:27,797 ERROR [velocity] ResourceManager : unable to find resource 'templates\jira\issue\action\comment.vm' in any resource loader.
2007-02-02 18:41:27,797 ERROR [com.atlassian.velocity.DefaultVelocityManager] ResourceNotFoundException occurred whilst loading resource issue\action\comment.vm

      Also affects UserMailQueuItem, ReleaseNoteManager, MailFetcherService and DefaultTemplateManager classes.
