It turns out the problem was that in JBoss4 I was easily able to access anything under WEB-INF from the classloader.
In JBoss7 I need to move the velocity folder from WEB-INF to WEB-INF/classes.
I also had to update all the spring configuration and references to those files.


Spring configuration file:
> <bean id="velocityConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer">
> *<property name="resourceLoaderPath" value="/WEB-INF/classes/velocity" />*
> <property name="configLocation" value="/WEB-INF/*classes*/velocity/velocity.properties"/>
> </bean>
> 
> 
> <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityLayoutViewResolver">
> *<property name="prefix" value="" />*
> <property name="suffix" value=".vm" />
> ...
> ...
> ...
> </bean>


Velocity template files:
> Before:
> #set( $layout = "WEB-INF/velocity/layout/blank_layout.vm" )
> 
> After:
> #set( $layout = "velocity/layout/blank_layout.vm" )


Velocity.properties file:
> Before:
> velocimacro.library = vm_global_library.vm
> 
> After:
> velocimacro.library = velocity/vm_global_library.vm
