How are you processing the Velocity templates? You always have the
option to subclass VelocityViewServlet.
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/view/
Anyways, since you can't directly read System properties from
templates, you can:
- Put the System properties that you will use in the Context.
- Put the whole System properties in the Context.
- Put a tool that gets System properties in the Context.
And get all you need via the Context.

Don't worry, that's how we all start. ;)
