Hey Nathan and Will, I mention trunk because I was compiling from trunk instead of VEL_1_5_BRANCH as it downloaded from subversion. I have only used CVS before this and have not compiled many Apache releases yet.
I had compiled both velocity and velocity-tools both out of Subversion yesterday to have that decimal change. I tried your one test Nathan to no avail. I am sorry this is not being obvious. I am trying to think of information I have not given you, but I think I passed to you most all of my configuration. The thing that sticks out in my head is this. When I have: file.resource.loader.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader file.resource.loader.path = /WEB-INF/templates file.resource.loader.cache = true file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 1800 My site comes up in browser. Email templates will not merge using the code I gave you. When I use resource.loader = file,webapp file.resource.loader.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader file.resource.loader.path = /WEB-INF/templates file.resource.loader.cache = true file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 1800 webapp.resource.loader.class = org.apache.velocity.tools.view.servlet.WebappLoader webapp.resource.loader.path = /WEB-INF/templates webapp.resource.loader.cache = true webapp.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 1800 or the variations you gave me, I get the exception when I try to web browse. I know Velocity Tools is loaded because the rest of my site depends on it for links and such. I use it with struts. Ugghhh...was not my frustration, but that I may be causing you both to scratch your heads over a dumb user ;+) Thank you for you help.
