how to use custom velocity.properties

[daljeetsingh]

Hello

I need to use a custom velocity.properties file for all the servlets in
a web application.

In order to do that I added the following to the web.xml
    <servlet >
      <servlet-name>org.apache.velocity.servlet.VelocityServlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>org.apache.velocity.servlet.VelocityServlet</servlet-class>
      <init-param>
         <param-name>properties</param-name>
         <param-value>velocity.properties</param-value>
      </init-param>
    </servlet>
    
This change has not been sufficient for the velocity servlet to use the
custom properties file in the loadConfiguration method ??

What's wrong?

Thanks
