--------------------------------------------------------------
I am migrating my spring mvc web app from AS4 to AS7.
The application is having a hard time finding my view templates (we are using velocity templates for our view).
This currently works fine in AS4 as is.

The project structure is as follows:
/
 /src
   /com
    (etc...)

 /WebContent
  /WEB-INF
    /velocity
     /login
      /login.vm


Here is an excerpt from my spring config file:

          javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:734)
          javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:847)




I tried a few different options for the "prefix" property
* /WEB-INF/velocity/
* WEB-INF/velocity/
* customerportal.war/WEB-INF/velocity/
* com.odc.customerportal/WEB-INF/velocity/



I am able to reorganize the location of the files in the built war file if necessary.
