/**
 * Factory bean that configures a VelocityEngine and provides it as bean
 * reference. This bean is intended for any kind of usage of Velocity in
 * application code, e.g. for generating email content. For web views,
 * VelocityConfigurer is used to set up a VelocityEngine for views.
 *
 * <p>The simplest way to use this class is to specify a "resourceLoaderPath";
 * you do not need any further configuration then. For example, in a web
 * application context:
 *
 * <pre class="code"> &lt;bean id="velocityEngine" class="org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean"&gt;
 * &lt;property name="resourceLoaderPath" value="/WEB-INF/velocity/"/&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;</pre>
 *
 * See the base class VelocityEngineFactory for configuration details.
