Velocity powered Websites - request

[Matthew Walker <mw...@electronicdatainc.com>]

Apologies for noise contribution

The document, http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/powered.html, explains 
that I should e-mail this list to request my site to be added to the 
'Velocity Powered Websites' section of jakarta,apache.org/velocity. With 
that said, data is below:

URL: tbjug.org
Description: Online presence for the Tampa Bay Java User Group
Created By: OAS (http://www.oasportal.com/)

Also, (and more to the recipients out there), I would like to discuss 
this graphic, http://tbjug.org/images/velocity_diagram.png, which 
depicts a (high level) design of the site and how velocity is involved. 
This is my first velocity implementation and I'm wondering if any 
experienced archs out there see this as absurd, (or not).
For clarification, the servlet inheritance allows me to easily append 
logic to the site by simply extending TBVelocityServlet. The descendants 
are only tasked with going about their business and adding stuff to the 
Context and can be blissfully ignorant of which template to load. I feel 
comfortable with this from an MVC perspective since my servlets are all 
Model. This is the way it should be, and I'm beginning to forget what 
life was like before velocity. Anyway, I'm very eager to see if other 
people have used similar designs. Of course, using tbjug.org and keeping 
an eye on one's URI should support the graphic's flow of things if 
further clarification is needed.

Looking at the graphic now, that seems good.  I tend to do things the 
same way.  I have a base servlet that deals with velocity stuff, and 
just extend it for the specific uses.  I use a cheap little 'action 
model' using reflection, and while admittedly cheesy, it does get done 
what I want to get done very simply.
