  @param velocityEngine VelocityEngine to work with
  @param templateLocation the location of template, relative to Velocity's resource loader path
  @param model the Map that contains model names as keys and model objects as values
  @return the result as String
  @throws VelocityException if the template wasn't found or rendering failed

  @deprecated Use {@link #mergeTemplateIntoString(VelocityEngine, String, String, Map)}
  instead, following Velocity 1.6's corresponding deprecation in its own API.
