/**
 * 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 com.breakidea.noah.web.velocity.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.
