You are really probably better off asking this stuff on the Velocity 
mailing lists.

  http://velocity.apache.org/contact.html

This here's the Tomcat Server's User list, where we specialise in asking 
people to repeat their email including their Tomcat, JVM & OS versions - 
then telling them not to use path="" in their Context definitions.

Occasionally we help with other stuff, but it's mostly to do with 
getting Tomcat servers to work.

Re: Display of velocity template emails in clients that might not display HTML

[Pradnya Gawade <pr...@gmail.com>]

all right, sorry. Actually I had a difficulty in successfully
deploying my web application to Tomcat when I used Velocity Engine in
it, which is when I posted to this group last time. And just continued
with same this time for further difficulty by mistake. I will contact
Velocity group for Velocity related problems henceforth. Thanks.
