[Springframework-developer] Velocity support

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

Attention Velocity users:

I've just changed the Velocity support to use the VelocityEngine model
rather than a Velocity singleton. This is partly to make testing easier (I
plan to add some Velocity tests) but also in case there's ever a need to
have a different Velocity setup for different controller servlets. As you
know, I hate singletons. And the VelocityConfigurer implementation was a bit
misleading in that using two in different servlet XML in the same JVM with
different config could have produced unexpected results.

This should be backward compatible. The VelocityView now looks for a
VelocityConfiguration implementation such as VelocityConfigurer in the
current application context hierarchy (it can be shared in the root web app
context). The name of this bean doesn't matter.

Anyway, please check your Velocity applications against the latest in CVS
before we release M2 and let me know if there are any problems.

Regards,
Rod
