Philip Reimer commented on VELOCITY-866:
----------------------------------------
im my case, velocity is used from within a webapp running on a tomcat.
it seems that velocity cannot be initialised because it does not have
permission to write "velocity.log"
I tried to override the default setting "runtime.log = velocity.log" by
providing Properties when initialising VelocityContext in my code.
That did not have any effect. The properties were being ignored.
The only thing that worked was copying "velocity.properties" from velocity.jar
to "WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/velocity/runtime/defaults/velocity.properties"
and changing the setting of "runtime.log" to e.g. "/tmp/velocity.log"
