Class VelocityServletTest.MockVelocityServlet

Loads the configuration information and returns that information as a Properties, which will be used to initialize the Velocity runtime.

Currently, this method gets the initialization parameter VelocityServlet.INIT_PROPS_KEY, which should be a file containing the configuration information.

To configure your Servlet Spec 2.2 compliant servlet runner to pass this to you, put the following in your WEB-INF/web.xml file

    <servlet>
      <servlet-name> YourServlet </servlet-name>
      <servlet-class> your.package.YourServlet </servlet-class>
      <init-param>
         <param-name> org.apache.velocity.properties </param-name>
         <param-value> velocity.properties </param-value>
      </init-param>
    </servlet>
   

Alternately, if you wish to configure an entire context in this fashion, you may use the following:

    <context-param>
       <param-name> org.apache.velocity.properties </param-name>
       <param-value> velocity.properties </param-value>
       <description> Path to Velocity configuration </description>
    </context-param>
   

Derived classes may do the same, or take advantage of this code to do the loading for them via :

      Properties p = super.loadConfiguration( config );
   

and then add or modify the configuration values from the file.
