Barbara, Thanks for the information.
Perhaps my application is not well suited to use the VelocityViewServlet. I was hoping to use it as a base to get 'free' access to the tool box and to the servlet logger. My analysis indicates that the template name I wish to use is not properly being passed through VeloctiyViewServlet to the underlying Velocity instance. My web.xml file looks something like this: <servlet> <servlet-name>browse</servlet-name> <servlet-class>blah.blah.blah.BrowseServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>browse</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/browse</url-pattern> <servlet-mapping> With this configuration, it appears that when I request http://blah.com/blah/browse, VelocityViewServlet is looking for a template file named 'browse'. This is not what I want. Is there an init parameter I can set to 'force' the template name to a set value? Thanks!

Be sure the servlet is properly defined in your web.xml file, with servlet-mapping. Be sure the servlet class is in the servlet container's classpath. Be sure the permissions allow the servlet container user to read the file. There has to be something different between the setup of the servlet that yields this message and the servlet that doesn't. If it were the fault of the servlet itself, you'd be getting an Exception message.
