I have upgraded from tools 1.1 to tools 1.2, and then to 1.3-rc1. Since
moving off 1.1, Velocity View Servlet does not seem to be attempting to
load the toolbox at all. My guess is that since I moved from tools 1.1
to tools 1.3, it's not finding the toolbox config XML file any more.
The reason I think it's not finding the toolbox xml config file any more
is because I can make up a totally bogus path to the toolbox, put it in
the web.xml file, and the behavior doesn't change from what I'm seeing
right now. Symptoms include lots of lines in the velocity log like
this:
Mon Jan 29 16:15:34 PST 2007 [warn]
org.apache.velocity.runtime.exception.ReferenceException: reference :
template = /NPVRAdmin.vm [line 31,column 46] : $npvr.addSuccess is not a
valid reference.
And web pages with lots of velocity reference (like
'$callerid.getCallingNumber') visible.
My toolbox XML files are not in the default location, but this setup
seems to be legal based on the 1.3 VVS documentation, and the same
settings were working earlier today when I was on tools 1.1.
Here is the relevant section of my web.xml:
<!--*******************************************************-->

Here's the complete velocity log from startup through initialization.
As you can see it gives no indication that any toolbox was loaded:
