Spark: Unable to find resource in any resource loader

[Blok5]

Hello, mi name is Igor. I saw that you good in Spark java.

I started to learn sparkjava with velocity template engine and faced with the problem, java can't find a template, which i put into public/templates/ folder. I say that staticFileLocation is ("/public"); So, java should find "templates" folder in "public" folder... But i have a wrong unable to find resource 'templates/layout.vm' in any resource loader And This is my tree structure

import java.util.HashMap;
import spark.ModelAndView;
import spark.template.velocity.VelocityTemplateEngine;
import static spark.Spark.*;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    port(4567);
    staticFileLocation("/public");

    get("/", (request, response) -> {
        return new ModelAndView(new HashMap(), "templates/layout.vm");
    }, new VelocityTemplateEngine());

}

}
I have not found how to use staticFileLocation! Plz, help, thx!

A template is not static, so you should put it in resources/templates/layout.vm

You can look at this project if you still have trouble: https://github.com/perwendel/spark-template-engines

Oh, thank you very much!

What is mean, template is not static? 
In which case template is static

Static resources are resources that do not change (like images and css/javascript). The point of velocity files is that they are dynamic, you can define variables like $username and pass that from Java.

Hi Tipsy!
I'm facing the same issue with a Maven project, so I cloned the repository you provided. Im deploying to a local apache tomcat server 7.0 but no resources are found when I try to open it in the browser
Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
