问题原因是velocity的日志框架导致（velocity是使用自己封装的日志框架记录日志的），velocity在初始化Logger时，如果没有读取到配置文件，则会使用默认的velocity.log做为文件输出路径，源代码里使用了 File file = new File(“velocity.log”) 代码片段,这样创建的文件目录是在启动jvm进程的用户目录下（也就是user.dir属性）。
解决办法：
1、添加一个velocity.properties日志配置文件
2、修改velocity的代码，把日志转接到应用里使用的日志框架上来。
3、解决的方式是直接关闭Velocity日志。
在调用 Velocity.init(); 之前
设置：
Velocity.setProperty(VelocityEngine.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS, “org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.NullLogChute”);
