Hi, just a few quick notes on getting started that I found to be
troublesome when I was configuring velocity.

When I downloaded Vecocity 1.4 I noticed that some of the web examples
that came along with the download didn't work, like the forumdemo.

And later when I was configuring my VelocityServlet I had problems
configuring that to go as well.  I was getting null pointers in my
tomcat log file.

I was later pointed out to try VelocityTools,
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/index.html.

I downloaded the binary and deployed the war examples without a problem.

VelocityTools replaces the old VelocityServlet with the
VelocityViewServlet.

If your rolling your own Velocity MVC you can override the handleRequest
method in the VVS in you own subclass.

I believe VelocityTools is what is the newest thing is in using Velocity
and I don't know for sure but velocity is being migrated to use that.
