personally, i think Markos gave you the best answer already. you
should use the WebappLoader from the VelocityTools project. The
FileResourceLoader that Velocity uses by default is not very webapp
friendly. there are ways to get it working in web applications, but
in general they are not obvious and not portable. use the
WebappLoader instead and what you're doing below should work fine.
