your ServletContextResourceLoader sounds a bit like the WebappLoader
in VelocityTools
(http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/view/servlet/WebappLoader.html)
for that loader, the VelocityViewServlet places the servlet context
into the VelocityEngine's application attributes from which the
ResourceLoader can fetch it.
