I think I figured it out. Not struts related. I am using the
singleton Velocity class which needs an explicit call to the
properties file or properties need to be set in code before init().
In case anyone is interested, the code below did the trick....
Velocity.setProperty(Velocity.RUNTIME_LOG,
"/var/log/tomcat6/velocity.log");
Velocity.init();
Velocity.evaluate(context, writer, "LOG", reader);
