So I threw them in there waiting to see if things would run or break. :)

My next step is to do my homework on dependencies! Would it be inappropriate for velocity-tools to include exactly what's needed for tomcat ... nothing more, nothing less? (And to specify the version of tomcat they assume the user has installed) It seems like the project might be taking a servlet-container-neutral stance? Perhaps that's by design.
Thank you both for the response.

I'm not familiar with your enviro, but I think your listing of shared/lib jar files is a bit large.
Specifically, servlet.jar doesn't belong, and I'm surprised it's not causing problems. And commons-logging.jar is asking for trouble (though I admit, that's with TC5.0.x, and 5.5 is a different beast). And unless something has changed in Velocity, it's not a good idea to be sharing velocity jars either.
As for memory, the JVM defaults are quite small, so it's not *really* a
Tomcat problem, so much as it's a "JVM Defaults" problem.

Subject: Re: question on velocity-tools-1.1 examples :: simple.war
This is a Tomcat problem. I find if there are too many web applications under tomcat, at some point I get an out of memory error. My guess is that this could be the one-more-application that broke the camel's back.

What I'm trying to do is get the velocity-tools simple.war example application to work. I'm running a fresh install of Tomcat 5.5 on Windows (bleh) XP, velocity 1.4 and velocity-tools-1.1
Tomcat runs fine. Also, I can successfully drop in the layout.war example application and it runs fine, too(!). When I drop in simple.war, tomcat wigs with the following:
<from tomcat's stdout_20050304.log>

For more information on my environment, I have the following .jar files, copied from velocity and velocity-tools, in
%tomcat%/shared/lib
:
commons-beanutils.jar commons-collections.jar commons-digester.jar commons-logging.jar commons-validator.jar servlet.jar sslext.jar velocity-dep-1.4.jar velocity-tools-view-1.1.jar
My JDK is Sun's Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_06

I very much look forward to using Velocity. As an aside, I
found it
confusing that velocity-1.4 ships with servlet examples but
a newbie
has no hope of running them "out of the box". For
starters, there's
no web.xml to tell Tomcat how to deal with *.vm files. Perhaps there's more that's missing ... I'm still quite ignorant of
velocity
internals/requirements. After reading the mailing list, I saw that velocity-tools contains everything needed for running example applications. Along with the good documentation on how to use Velocity, examples are really what's helpful to a newb teaching themselves a new thing. If the servlet examples in
velocity-1.4 don't
run as-is, why include them?
Thank you for Velocity, and thank you for your time.
