For those of us like me who have difficulty in translating ilcavero's "expert-
level" instructions, I thought I'd detail exactly what I did to get Velocity
logging to merge with all my other application logs. I don't know enough
about Appfuse yet to say if this is the "right" way, but it worked for me.
My application is based on AppFuse 2.0 + the Struts2 Archetype.
1. I located the root-level <dependencies> tag in my pom.xml, near the
bottom of the file. This tag contains the appfuse <type>war</type> and
<type>warpath</type>, among others. At the end of the list of dependencies
inside this tag (after the <dependency> containing
<groupId>org.subethamail</groupId> ), I added the following:
<dependency>
<groupId>velocity-tools</groupId>
<artifactId>velocity-tools-generic</artifactId>
<version>${velocity.tools.version}</version>
</dependency>
2. I then located the root-level <properties> tag (the last root-level tag
in my pom.xml) and within that, added the following:
<velocity.tools.version>1.2</velocity.tools.version>
I don't think it matters where you put this inside the <properties>
tag,
but I thought it seemed to fit logically under the comment:
<!-- Framework dependency versions -->
so I put it there (after the <appfuse.version> and <spring.version>
tags).
Hope this saves someone else the time it took me to work this out.
