I'm not sure what's going on here. How are you configuring your tools? How are you processing the templates? If $springMacroRequestContext.class has no value, that means that $springMacroRequestContext is not in the velocity context being merged with the template. I can't recall any difference between beta1 and beta2 that would change that, but i wouldn't rule it out as there were plenty of changes. Still, without knowing more about how you have Velocity, VelocityTools and Spring MVC configured to interact, it is hard to know why you aren't getting that object in your context anymore.
