our replies crossed in the mail. hopefully my last email answers this question, but it can't urt to repeat...
the VVS has always used the webapp resource loader by default. this is set programmatically in the initVelocity() method and requires no user intervention or custom velocity.properties. it is one of the key benefits of the VVS, because it makes it far more portable and doesn't require any configuration for use in webapps. if you want it to use the FileResourceLoader, you must override that setting in a custom velocity.properties as such: resource.loader=file file.resource.loader.class=blah.blah.FileResourceLoader file.resource.loader.path=/blah/blah/templates if you want to just use the FileResourceLoader along with the default webapp loader, then you should just change the resource.loader property above to: resource.loader=file,webapp ... this sort of stuff (multiple resource loaders) is fairly well documented in the velocity dev guide and such.
