Maverick 2.0 uses the approach developed by the Velocity folk to integrate with Struts. It's a servlet called VelocityViewServlet that makes Velocity work just like JSP: You configure *.vm to map to this servlet, and the servlet masquerades the normal servlet attribute collections as the Velocity context.
Velocity initialization, properties, logs, etc are configured on the VelocityViewServlet itself, not the Maverick dispatcher (like it was in 1.0). Take a look at friendbook-velocity's web.xml deployment descriptor. It's in the opt-velocity package. This package also includes a somewhat outdated copy of the VelocityViewServlet. I'll update it for the b2 release. BTW, it's entirely possible (and quite easy) to write a Maverick view factory that builds "native" Velocity views. It's just convenient to piggyback on the Struts integration effort and use our "document" view and transform types.
