Re: [WebMacro-user] WebMacro and Spring Framework

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

Hi Hai,

If you give me a good contact at Spring, I will work to engage somebody 
to develop the hook.

Generally, it is trivial to add a template system, once 2 or more are 
already supported.

Regardless of the loss of popularity, WebMacro is a fine solution for 
applications and, because Velocity is a copy-cat, you can always migrate 
to Velocity if you feel there are not enough warm bodies in the WM bar.
