I too had same Issue but I was able to resolve this overriding the default log file to customized log file. Just add this 3 lines of code in the method where you are calling evaluate Function.

Velocity.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS,"org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogChute");

Velocity.setProperty("runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.logger","com.mindtree.igg.website.email.TemplateMergeUtilVelocityImpl");

VelocityContext velocityContext = new VelocityContext(parameters);

This is one way of solving it ie, without using property file.
