1) you need apache velocity in the class path for tomcat 2) here's a way of dealing with these that may go quicker than asking on the mailing list everytime they come up -- clip out the pertinent part of the stack trace (in this case "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/velocity/context/Context" and do a google search on it. then look at the first couple of forum or blog posts that come up. 95+% of the time you'll find the answer very quickly, as these sorts of errors are rarely particularly new.
