Fwd: Re: Fwd: [WebMacro-user] how to use Request and other 'special objects'?

[Peter S. <sh...@ya...>]

I think I've failed to effectively communicate my
situation.  Here's another try:

  Is it possible to implicitly access the 
  HttpServletRequest object in a WebMacro 
  template (in a servlet environment), just 
  as in a JSP page?

My servlet extends only HttpServlet, and I create a WM
instance within my servlet's init() method using the
following code:

  WM _wm = new WM();

I presume that manually putting the HttpServletRequest
object into the Context will work for me, but I want
to know if I can get away with not doing that - like I
can with defining global 'Functions' in
WebMacro.properties.

Thanks!
