Excellent. This is exactly the information I needed.
I've done something like this in loadConfiguration:
Properties p = new Properties();
String propsFile = "/velocity.properties";
InputStream istream =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(propsFile);
if ( istream != null )
{ p.load( istream ); }
Works great. Thanks.
