Great job on getting roller 1.2 done.

Templates:
If you want to see a good example of how templates are
implemented in another app, I would take a look at
Gallery 2 (http://gallery.menalto.com).  

Although this app is written in Php, they have done a
great job, and the extensibility (modules) and admin
portions of this app are great, and the templates
(that are not editable by the user, but are
selectable, are well done).

Another note/Question:
There was talk a while back of passing the principal
(the logged in user) into the manager calls.  Has this
or will this be implemented?

Thanks,
Reuven.

We'll have to take a look at that.

No, we took another approach. In the outer most filter, we set the 
"current user" of the persistence session. I believe you can get this  
via roller.getUser(). If there is no logged in user then you'll get 
UserData.ANONYMOUS_USER. For system operations, there is also a 
UserData.SYSTEM_USER.
