Velocity context not working for me?

OK, please tell me where I'm being stupid. :-)

Here's the main part of
WEB-INF/src/java/com/ti/ui/modules/screens/Login.java:

public class Login extends VelocityScreen
{
    public void doBuildTemplate( RunData data, Context context )
    {
	context.put("test", "Yippee");
    }
}


Now, here's templates/screens/Login.vm:

$page.setTitle("Login Screen")

<form method="post"
action="$link.setAction("Login").setPage("Main.vm")">
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>$test</td>
	<td><input type="text" size="30" name="username" value=""></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>$test</td>
	<td><input type="password" size="30" name="password" value=""></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <font>
          <input type="submit" value="Login">
        </font>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>



When I pull up http://localhost:8080/portal/servlet/portal/Login, I get
the HTML from Login.vm, but no $test, and the velocity log complains
that $test is not a valid reference.

Since this is how I believe this is supposed to work based on the
documentation, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
-scott

What package is your screen in? And what is the entry
for 'module.packages' in your TR.props file. The screen
you are listing below is probably not being found.

Wrong URL.

http://localhost:8080/portal/servlet/portal/template/Login.vm
