/**
* JavaBean to configure Velocity for web usage, via the "configLocation"
* and/or "velocityProperties" and/or "resourceLoaderPath" bean properties.
* The simplest way to use this class is to specify just a "resourceLoaderPath";
* you do not need any further configuration then.
*
*
* <bean id="velocityConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer">
* <property name="resourceLoaderPath"><value>/WEB-INF/velocity/</value></property>
* </bean>
*
* This bean must be included in the application context of any application
* using Spring's VelocityView for web MVC. It exists purely to configure Velocity;
* it is not meant to be referenced by application components but just internally
* by VelocityView. Implements VelocityConfig to be found by VelocityView without
* depending on the bean name of the configurer. Each DispatcherServlet can define
* its own VelocityConfigurer if desired.
*
* Note that you can also refer to a preconfigured VelocityEngine instance, for
* example one set up by VelocityEngineFactoryBean, via the "velocityEngine" property.
* This allows to share a VelocityEngine for web and email usage, for example.
*
*
This configurer registers the "spring.vm" Velocimacro library for web views
* (contained in this package and thus in spring.jar), which makes all macros
* defined in it implicitly available:
*
*
* #springBind("person.age")
* age is ${status.value}
