The FileResourceLoader is notoriously difficult to configure property
in a webapp environment, and is impossible to use in a webapp run as

I recommend looking into the WebappLoader that is part of the
VelocityTools project. You can see the VelocityTools javadoc or
search these mail archives for more info on it.
