/**
* Base class which simplifies the use of Velocity with Servlets.
* Extend this class, implement the handleRequest() method,
* and add your data to the context. Then call
* getTemplate("myTemplate.wm").
*
* This class puts some things into the context object that you should
* be aware of:
*
* "req" - The HttpServletRequest object
* "res" - The HttpServletResponse object
*
*
* There are other methods you can override to access, alter or control
* any part of the request processing chain. Please see the javadocs for
* more information on :
*
* - loadConfiguration() : for setting up the Velocity runtime
*
- createContext() : for creating and loading the Context
*
- setContentType() : for changing the content type on a request
* by request basis
*
- handleRequest() : you must implement this
*
- mergeTemplate() : the template rendering process
*
- requestCleanup() : post rendering resource or other cleanup
*
- error() : error handling
*
*
* If you put a String with key "contentType" object into the context within either your
* servlet or within your template, then that will be used to override
* the default content type specified in the properties file.
*
* @deprecated This servlet has been replaced by VelocityViewServlet,
* available from the Velocity-Tools sub-project. VelocityViewServlet
* provides support for quick, clean MVC web development.
* VelocityServlet will be removed in a future version of Velocity.
