your velocity.properties file looks fine, and if you are using VelocityTools 1.4, then it should say in the logs if it managed to load a custom velocity.properties. So, it looks like your web.xml still needs some adjustment. Could you post that as it currently is?
Finally, you only need to use one of the velocity-tools-*-1.4.jar files. If you are using VelocityStruts, then use the velocity-tools-1.4.jar. If you are just using VelocityViewServlet/VelocityLayoutServet and don't need Struts 1.x integration, then just use the velocity-tools-view-1.4.jar. It includes all of the classes in the velocity-tools-generic-1.4.jar already, so that is unnecessary.
