/**
 * Factory that configures a VelocityEngine. Can be used standalone,
 * but typically you will either use {@link VelocityEngineFactoryBean}
 * for preparing a VelocityEngine as bean reference, or
 * {@link VelocityConfigurer}
 * for web views.
 *
 * <p>The optional "configLocation" property sets the location of the Velocity
 * properties file, within the current application. Velocity properties can be
 * overridden via "velocityProperties", or even completely specified locally,
 * avoiding the need for an external properties file.
 *
 * <p>The "resourceLoaderPath" property can be used to specify the Velocity
 * resource loader path via Spring's Resource abstraction, possibly relative
 * to the Spring application context.
 *
 * <p>If "overrideLogging" is true (the default), the VelocityEngine will be
 * configured to log via Commons Logging, that is, using
 * {@link CommonsLogLogChute} as log system.
 *
 * <p>The simplest way to use this class is to specify a
 * {@link #setResourceLoaderPath(String) "resourceLoaderPath"}; the
 * VelocityEngine typically then does not need any further configuration.

     * relative paths when running in an ApplicationContext.
     * <p>Will define a path for the default Velocity resource loader with the name
     * "file". If the specified resource cannot be resolved to a {@code java.io.File},
     * a generic SpringResourceLoader will be used under the name "spring", without
     * modification detection.
     * <p>Note that resource caching will be enabled in any case. With the file
     * resource loader, the last-modified timestamp will be checked on access to

     * Of course, this just applies when loading resources from the file system.

     * as file system resource in any case, turn off the "preferFileSystemAccess"
