Alex - I think VelocityEngine.evaluate() will do what you need if you wrap the input
String with a StringReader. Since you say you're reading from a Jar you may want to do
something like this:
Reader r = new InputStreamReader(
ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("your-template-path-here"));
Writer w = new StringWriter();
boolean ok = velocityEngine.evaluate(velocityContext, w, "logtag", r);
String output = w.toString();
