Re: FormProc Controller

Thanks for replying, Aapo.

I did something similar to this, and also added a Velocity Tool to make 
FormProc easier to use. I've uploaded the first blush in the patches area.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=807112&group_id=26951&atid=388765

Next I'm working on support for Maps and passing parameters to a 
Singleton version of the controller.
