Freemarker Template Not found Exception

Question

I am getting file not found exception for my freemarker template file in java. I have searched all links like Random template not found with Freemarker and Freemarker template not found , but nothing helped.

I am using ftl file for designing email and this is my code to include that template

 Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
            cfg.setClassForTemplateLoading(GenerateEmail.class, "");
            Template template = cfg.getTemplate("email.ftl");

My email.ftl file is located in src/main/java folder

can anyone help me in this

Answer 1

Try placing your ftl files in "WEB-INF/email/email.ftl" then access it using cfg.getTemplate("/email/email.ftl").
