as for your original problem, something odd is going on (probably in
your use of velocity) if the properties file is being read, but makes

tell me, are you using the singleton (Velocity.blahblah) or not
(VelocityEngine.blahblah) in your servlet? and what is it that tells
you that the properties are making no difference?
Hi everyone,
Firstly, thank you all for your very helpful responses.
I have made a good deal of progress - switched my code to using
VelocityViewServlet and it now appears to be loading the properties
file correctly. I think the problem was actually in my layout of
web.xml where I had got <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> blocks in the
wrong order (noob I know!)
I had one question regarding VelocityViewServlet and Velocity and the
use of sessions in general. Am I right in presuming that the context
used in VelocityViewServlet will not be consistent across page views
within the same session, and if it is not is the 'best' way to access
session attributes simply by $session.getAttribute("")?
I do not see myself setting session attributes from within the VTL
itself but will have other servlets (that handle login/registration
etc) that do this and then redirect to velocity templates. A simple
example would be setting an error message attribute and then
redirecting to a velocity template for the error page.
ps It's really a pretty simple project that I'm working on so I'm not
really going to be looking at any more complex frameworks.
