public class VelocityConfigurer

extends ApplicationObjectSupport

JavaBean to configure Velocity, by setting the location of the Velocity properties file. This bean must be included in the application context of any application using Velocity with the Interface21 framework.
The optional location property sets the location within the WAR of the Velocity properties file. By default it will be sought in the /WEB-INF directory, with the name velocity.properties.
This bean exists purely to configure Velocity. It exposes no methods other than initialization methods, and is not meant to be referenced by application components.
