1) I would change <servlet-name> to something else, like 'MyServlet', so
you can
http://....../yourwebapp/servlet/MyServlet
in the browser
2) you will need to extend VelocityServlet, so the <servlet-class> much
change to your class that extends VelocityServlet.
3) the properties params are right - put the velocity.properties file in
your webapp root (i.e webapps/webappname/ ).
See examples/servlet_example2 for some ideas on working with properties.
