Velocity on z/OS - velocity.properties not getting picked up

[Anuradha Weeraman <aw...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've been using Velocity in J2EE web application on z/OS and have been
running into a few problems. I'm using maven to build the application
which has set dependencies on velocity 1.4. the repository/jars folder
contains both velocity-1.4.jar and velocity-1.4-dev.jar.

For some reason, when velocity is initialized, the velocity.properties
file doesn't get picked up and as a result throws a
NullPointerException. When a Property object is manually populated
with the needed fields or if the property file is manually loaded and
passed into the init method, it seems to work.

Does anybody any idea why the velocity.properties in
velocity-1.4.jar\org\apache\velocity\runtime\defaults doesn't get
picked up automatically?

Could it be because the property file appears in both maven-1.4.jar
and maven-1.4-dev.jar?

Regards,
Anuradha

Correction:

Could it be because the property file appears in both velocity-1.4.jar
and velocity-1.4-dev.jar?

Tried doing that, but maven complained. The two jars look pretty much
same, I'm guessing that dependance on both might be redundant.

Tried removing the velocity.properties from one jar but that didn't
fix the problem either.

Having the multiple jars with Velocity has been known to cause problems 
in the past, particularly if they are loaded by different classloaders 
(e.g. one in a container classpath and one in the app).

Can you get rid of one and see what happens?
