Re: Accessing templates in jars

I could incorporate this into WMEval.java as a new constructor:

WMEval(Object env) {
     if (env instanceof HttpServlet) wm = new WM(this);
     else wm = new WM();
}

Tim: perhaps you could take a look at WMEval as that this may provide 
some guidelines. WMEval is a wrapper which encapsulates both Servlet and 
non-Servlet environments.
