Jeff, Thanks for responding. Sorry it took so long to get back, I've been out of town (and my computer crashed and ....) Anyway your code snippet works just fine!
After I posted my last message I looked more closely at the classpaths etc. But didn't see anything. as for: I would guess that you are either changing Velocity templates I may be. That is why I'm focussing on the $serverName problem - since this is part of the TDK example and code that didn't work when I did the install. I've altered it slightly now - so that it now reads: import org.apache.turbine.util.RunData; import org.apache.turbine.services.servlet.TurbineServlet; import org.apache.velocity.context.Context; /** * Grab all the records in a table using a Peer, and * place the Vector of data objects in the context * where they can be displayed by a #foreach loop. * * @author <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>Jason van Zyl</a> */ public class ServletInfo extends SecureScreen { /** * Place all the data object in the context * for use in the template. */ public void doBuildTemplate( RunData data, Context context ) { context.put("fooValue", "a Fool"); <------------------------- ADDED THIS context.put("serverName", TurbineServlet.getServerName()); } } This was just to see if the problem was with the TurbineServlet code/path etc. BTW the output using the above is: Servlet Info: $serverName Foo Info: $fooValue Perhaps it would be useful to go through the steps of putting up a trivial page (like with my foo example above) in a step-by-step manner to see if it is something silly.
