RE: Accessing templates in jars

Hi Keats, 

Thank you so much for staying with me. 
I have fixed it!

The initial change, of passing in the servlet 
was correct, however it highlighted another problem 
specific to servlet containers.

This worked, so I realised the problem was in my code, 
as it always is !

I had     
 return "org" + File.separatorChar + 
           "melati" + File.separatorChar + 
           "admin" + File.separatorChar + 
           name;

Which works outside of jar files but not inside them.

    return "org/melati/admin/" + name;

works in both cases.

I should have spotted the error earlier 
as it said it could not find template 
org/melati/admin/Main.wm 

So thank you again for keeping me at it until 
I spotted my mistake.

PS Melati can now be dropped into another application 
simply by adding the jar, two properties files and 
the images directory into your war file.
