Re: [Webmacro-devel] Design Conecpts : #includes

[Lane S. <la...@op...>]

Hi Wm,

This concept is a pretty common pattern.

The way I solve it:

a) In the init() section of a base servlet, parse a template and save 
the context off as a java variable.

b) Insert the context variable before you evaluate the template using a 
name like "Global". Then, every template has a context variable, 
$Global.{AnyVariableCreatedInTheGlobalTemplate}

You can see a good example of this in the current distribution: 
o.w.servlets.TemplateServlet.java
