Hi,

I cant find the minumal requierements for velocity in de documentation.
Does it run in a servlet 2.0 container or it requieres 2.1 servlet
container?

Technically speaking, Velocity is just a template engine ;) and doesn't
*require* a servlet container.

That said, we do provide a servlet base class called VelocityServlet that
helps integrating Velocity into your web/servlet development easier.

Take a look at that to see the kind of support that it offers.  Since most
of the method that would be important to you, namly init and
loadConfiguration() are aimed more towards a 2.2 environment, you might
simply want to override init(), do you own Velocity configuration, and then
simply take advange of the writer pooling that VelocityServlet offers.

If I remember right, people have used it successfully in a servlet 2.0
container.  However, a 2.2 container like Tomcat 3.2 or any number of other
implementations are recommended.
