Would it be possible to have some example of safe but recursive macro ?


I feel that macro directive call graph and recursive calls could be abused
by a malicious person. Is this likely ? Is it possible to provide a way to
limit macros to make them safer ?

Can wm templates be used as part of a hosting solution ? Can one provide
ability to add wm templates but somehow restrict the person uploading wm
templates from bringing down the container. With 1.0, I was thinking that
restricting available Java packages and disallowing the include directive
could do the trick. Is this true ? Does it make sense ?
Is this in line with web macro use case ?

Appreciate your help. I have been using webmacro a little bit for a year but
don't know enough about it.
One thing would help (at least)me a lot would be some documentation on web
application security with web macro.

thanks,
