Cannot resolve template loader path Freemarker

I use freemarker with Spring.

This is the way I configure my freemarker :

<bean id="freemarkerConfiguration" class="org.springframework.ui.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean">     
    <property name="templateLoaderPath" value="classpath:/META-INF/templates"/>    
</bean>

This configuration is actually working fine, I am able to generate my report using the templates, etc.

However in Weblogic, I always get this Exception :

15 Sep 2012 01:03:02,060 DEBUG DefaultListableBeanFactory.doCreateBean:504 - Eagerly caching bean 'freemarkerConfiguration' to allow for resolving potential circular references

at org.springframework.ui.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory.createConfiguration(FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory.java:304)
at org.springframework.ui.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet(FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean.java:60)

This Error actually happens during the loading. Anyone know how to solve and remove this Exception? The file is actually still generated using the templates provided, so I'm not really sure what this error about.

For your info : I'm not using exploded deployment.

This is nothing to worry about. Note that the log level is DEBUG, not ERROR or WARNING.

When the template directory is accessible through java.io.File (because it's not inside a jar, war, etc.), Spring will configure FreeMarker to use java.io.File directly to load the templates, because that way FreeMarker can check the last modification times and automatically reload templates. To find out if the path can be mapped to a plain directory, Spring will call Resource.getFile() and see if it throws IOException. If it did, Spring logs with DEBUG level, then configures FreeMarker to load the templates through Spring's Resource abstraction (without using Resource.getFile of course). So it's the normal program flow in your case.
