Byron,
Thanks! Your info was quite helpful and I was able to read in the file
(finally!) using Velocity.init() -- as you show below, but when I used
Velocity.setProperty() to set the "runtime.log" as you have shown below,
it gets ignored. If I remove the runtime.log entry in the properties
file, then the default log is used instead (./velocity.log). What I
wish is to use a different velocity log file for each user (as different
users will use separate instances of my software concurrently). My
software is a standalone GUI application written in Java 5, not a web
app. How can I specify a log file name (determined at run-time) if the
setProperty() method does not work??

Hi Mark, It's hard to tell what's going on without knowing more about
how you are trying to run Velocity, but... You can set the log
location programtically (which might give you some insight as to if
your properties file is being read):
org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity.setProperty("runtime.log", "<thepath>");
and the properties file is loaded with:
org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity.init("<the prop path>");
If your running with VelocityServlet, you can set the location of the
velocity properties file with
<init-param>
<param-name>org.apache.velocity.properties</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/velocity.props</param-value>
</init-param>

Velocity is working, but I seem to have no control over where
Velocity writes its log info. I changed the "runtime.log" entry in
the velocity.properties file to be a custom filename, but it still
writes to "velocity.log" in the current directory. It appears that
the velocity.properties file is not being read at all. I put this
file in both, the current directory, and in another place I know is
in the classpath, but still, the file isn't being read -- or at
least, the runtime.log entry within it is being ignored. I've spent
more than 2 hours trying to hunt down info on what I might be doing
wrong, but to no avail. I consider this posting as my last resort.
