I'm plugging away at this, because I'd like to use Velocity for the templates in the app I'm working on.

I've got part of the way there*, but seem to be having a problem with the tools.xml file.

The pieces that don't depend on the tools.xml seem to work ok. For instance,
Lets count : #foreach($i in [1..5])$i #end
comes out as
Lets count : 1 2 3 4 5

but if it tries to use any of the variable in the tools.xml then I get something like:
This is simple app version ${version}.
or
Here we use a custom tool: $toytool.message

Is there something I need to set to get it running with the tools.xml file? I've got it sitting in the WEB-INF folder, and it's a copy straight from the tutorial.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy


*I had to add the following to the appengine-web.xml:
<static-files>
    <exclude path="/**.vm" />
</static-files>
and create an empty velocity.properties to the web-inf folder in order to not get exceptions or other oddness.
