Re: [Actionframework-users] How to configure velocity?

You can use Velocity.properties with AS. Here is a piece of web.xml:

    <servlet>
       <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
       <servlet-class>org.actionframework.ActionServlet</servlet-class>

       <init-param>
          <param-name>ActionConfig</param-name>
          <param-value>LoginServlet.xml</param-value>
       </init-param>

       <init-param>
          <param-name>ActionEngine</param-name>
          <param-value>Velocity</param-value>
       </init-param>

       <init-param>
          <param-name>properties</param-name>
          <param-value>WEB-INF/classes/Velocity.properties</param-value>
       </init-param>
    </servlet>

Path for Velocity.properties can be relative to servlet context
(like above) or absolute.

You are right that this is missing in the Spec - will be there in
the next release - thank you! :)
