We just made some changes to our application, and we experienced some Freemarker exceptions intermittently this morning.
Our Freemarker template called monitoring.ftl includes header.ftl , which in turn includes header_setup.ftl
In both dev and testing, we did not experience this exception, and from about 9:30 in the morning this exception did not occur in Prod (i.e. the template exists and works for the most part), but before that there were several times when the exception below was registered . And it seemed to be during our peak load.
So my question is: Has anyone tested Freemarker intermittently without being able to find a template at boot time?
