Hi, I'd like to address this issue. Any comments on my suggested approach? Specifically, I thought we could allow RuntimeInstance to take a live instance of a resource loader as a property as an alternative to a class name. I've recently discovered that Velocity accepts loggers passed in this way.
from: EventHandlingTestCase.java Velocity.setProperty(Velocity.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM, this ); Velocity.init(); The basic idea is that the developer instantiates a resource loader, configures it with a JNDI name and then passes it to Velocity. Inversion of Control and Spring are hot topics now in the Java / open source community, I think it'd be nice to modify the tool to be compatible. Matt Raible's an ardent Spring user, so we can get immediate feedback. Any comments or suggestions before I write this patch?
