Expressions
-----------
This is somewhat OT in the current context but IMO expressions, (the
stuff inside ${}), should only have access to FOM and preferably just
read access. IMHO expressions should not have side effects.
There should be a way to register objects for use by the template so that
flow is not a requirement. Of course, the template should also be able to
access the request and response.
How about allowing a "context-populator" parameter to the template
generator. As an example, suppose we want to populate the context with a
query from a db.
In sitemap:
<map:generate type="template" src="showQuery">
<map:parameter name="context-populator" src="com.MyPopulator"/>
</map:generate>
The question is: do we really need this? Once can always use actions to
populate request attributes with needed data. Looks like a duplication
of functionality.
