Howdy Ryan -
I don't know if anyone has had the chance to check the examples in Tomcat 5.5 -- so it could be as simple as 5.5 is borked. (I know when I was personally mucking with the example wars, I was using Tomcat 4.1.)
Apologies for the docs confusion... fortunately you've found the Velocity Tools stuff. There is an effort to move all the Servlet stuff completely out of the Core Velocity project and point everyone at the Tools sub-project. Will and others are working hard at making that happen in their not-so-copious spare time.
Cheers, Timo

Subject: question on velocity-tools-1.1 examples :: simple.war
I've read through the list (and online/offline documentation) in an effort to rule out a lazy question, so I hope that this particular one hasn't been asked before.
What I'm trying to do is get the velocity-tools simple.war example application to work. I'm running a fresh install of Tomcat 5.5 on Windows (bleh) XP, velocity 1.4 and velocity-tools-1.1
Tomcat runs fine. Also, I can successfully drop in the layout.war example application and it runs fine, too(!). When I drop in simple.war, tomcat wigs with the following:
<from tomcat's stdout_20050304.log>

For more information on my environment, I have the following .jar files, copied from velocity and velocity-tools, in %tomcat%/shared/lib :
commons-beanutils.jar commons-collections.jar commons-digester.jar commons-logging.jar commons-validator.jar servlet.jar sslext.jar velocity-dep-1.4.jar velocity-tools-view-1.1.jar
My JDK is Sun's Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_06

I very much look forward to using Velocity. As an aside, I found it confusing that velocity-1.4 ships with servlet examples but a newbie has no hope of running them "out of the box". For starters, there's no web.xml to tell Tomcat how to deal with *.vm files. Perhaps there's more that's missing ... I'm still quite ignorant of velocity internals/requirements. After reading the mailing list, I saw that velocity-tools contains everything needed for running example applications. Along with the good documentation on how to use Velocity, examples are really what's helpful to a newb teaching themselves a new thing. If the servlet examples in velocity-1.4 don't run as-is, why include them?
Thank you for Velocity, and thank you for your time.
