Hi,


I am setting up a simple project with spring and apache velocity,

below is my servlet file.

I found the solution.

there was an error in My servlet

it was

<beans:bean name ="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver">

<beans:property name="prefix" value=" /WEB-INF/velocity" />
<beans:property name="suffix" value=".vm" />
<!-- <beans:property name="exposeSpringMacroHelpers" value="true"/> -->

</beans:bean>


the property should be <beans:property name="prefix" value="" />

That has worked for me. Thanks a lot.
