Context question: is it threadsafe?
Forget about web/servlets for a moment. I'm using Velocity in a mail
templating system. (try _that_ with JSP!) I have a very basic question:
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
Is the VelocityContext object threadsafe? Or do I have to instantiate one
for each call to the template I want?
Thanks for any insights.

It is not threadsafe. You can reuse them, but a VelocityContext should
only be running down through one template at a time. So if you have to,
pool them.
