Solution
:(thanks Thanks to Keith Lea!)
It turns out Velocity's Avalon logging system was trying to write to my tomcat Tomcat folder.
So that it's on file somewhere for other people, I will describe the solution:
- I created a file "
velocity.properties" and placed it in myWEB-INF/classesfolder. - Inside the file I wrote:
| Code Block |
|---|
runtime.log.logsystem.class=org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.NullLogSystem |
This stops velocity Velocity from logging, and makes webwork work againthe example application now works.
