may be this is related. The definition in TR.properties of the velocity log is
services.VelocityService.runtime.log=/log/velocity.log
If using as VelocityService the default class
org.apache.turbine.services.velocity.TurbineVelocityService
you find in the method createVelocityProperties(..) (which is called when
initializing) a condition:
if (!key.endsWith(RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH) {... continue }
and only after pathes are resolved relative to the web-app.
If you consider this, then e.g defining runtime.log as above you end up (in may
case) with a log in C:/log/velocity.log.

> Key: VELOCITY-719
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-719
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: 1.6.2
> Reporter: Cott Lang
>
> When we upgraded to 1.6.2 from 1.5.0, we began experiencing failures:
> Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
> at
> org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeInstance.getTemplate(RuntimeInstance.java:1400)
> at
> org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeSingleton.getTemplate(RuntimeSingleton.java:326)
> at org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity.mergeTemplate(Velocity.java:352)
> We eventually traced this back to Log4JChute attempting to create
> velocity.log in an unwritable $CWD.
> I realize you may or may not consider this a bug, as you may wish to have the
> system fail if it can't log. However, I couldn't even find any output
> indicating the initial failure to create velocity.log causing Velocity to
> fail to initialize. :)
> On a related note, is it possible to change the runtime.log default to BLANK
> so that velocity defaults to using a pre-existing log4j config if it exists?
> Although it's certainly an established tradition at this point, It seems a
> little backward to default to creating it's own log4j configuration - and a
> google search on velocity.log produces a very large number of people dealing
> with the problem of Velocity trying to create a velocity.log somewhere that
> doesn't work. :)
