Lane, I really appreciate you doing all this. Great job. I will try to 
download it at work this week. My next client project begins in December 
and should provide a new simple platform for using Spring, WM and Groovy 
altogether. The idea is to use Groovy for the backend controller code, 
and WM for views. Therefore no more rebuilding of java code / stopping 
tomcat etc.

Indeed, WM is providing huge prototyping and implementation benefits 
over JSP at my current client, not to mention performance... and this is 
all just using the "work in progress" JSP taglib I have that embeds WM 
inside JSP pages.

(Why embed in JSP... ugh don't ask :(  )
