Re: Resource loader problems and Re: can't load my own properties file using tomcat

["Geir Magnusson Jr." <ge...@optonline.net>]

I think both of these problems were caused by the changes to
servlet_example1 to have it self-configure.  In the process, of course,
it ignores any external properties file.

I added a new servlet_example2, which uses a velocity.properties, and
has examples on how to work with the ClasspathResourceLoader and the
FileResourceLoader

Note that this example is *not* identical to the original
servlet_example1 either, as that had very little value-add for new
users, and resulted in quite a bit of confusion.

The new servlet_example2 is checked into both the CVS HEAD, so it will
appear in the nightly snapshot, as well as the 1.1 branch.  There are a
few more issues before we mint a rc2, so get from CVS or the nightly.

It was only tested under linux, so if anyone can verify that all is good
under Windows, that would be great.
