Paul -
In case you haven't already sussed this one out already, the likely issue is
that each core is separately configured and only the single core example
collection1 core comes with the VelocityResponseWriter wired in fully. You
need these lines (paths likely need adjusting!) in your solrconfig.xml:
<lib dir="../../../contrib/velocity/lib" regex=".*\.jar" />
<lib dir="../../../dist/" regex="apache-solr-velocity-\d.*\.jar" />
and
<queryResponseWriter name="velocity" class="solr.VelocityResponseWriter"
startup="lazy"/>
I used the example-DIH, <launching via [java
-Dsolr.solr.home="./example-DIH/solr/" -jar start.jar>), after adding the above
to the db/conf/solrconfig.xml file and this works:
http://localhost:8983/solr/db/select?q=*:*&wt=velocity&v.template=hello&v.template.hello=Hello%20World!
Before adding getting VrW registered, Solr fell back to the XML response writer
as you experienced.
