Hi 'N',
It looks like your velocity.properties file has some errors in it. It would be helpful if you posted the contents of that file here, but at a wild guess you may have a line that looks like this:
file.resource.loader.cache = {something other than a boolean}, where it should look like:
file.resource.loader.cache = true
Alternatively it could be whitespace after the end of a similar property entry (not sure how the o.a.c.c.ExtendedProperties class deals with that but java.util.Properties doesn't like it).
I'm somewhat surprised that it only fails intermittently, but all may become clear..

Hello,
My VelocityServlets are intermittently failing due to a ClassCastExeption. The Stack trace is appended to the end of this message. Does anyone know what's going wrong?
Thanks, N
