Jeff, Thanks for the quick response. I'll try to explain the second question a little better.
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-velocity-tools/ This is the link for the Velocity tools subproject. I think they call it a "Pull-MVC". I write something like a bean (or, a bean) that stores user info. Then, in the toolbox.xml file I assosicate the prefix "user" with my class, com.mycompany.UserBean. Then, in every velocity page on my site I can access $user.firstName, or $user.lastName. Without said tool I have to specifically put my UserBean into the context in each servlet that would use it. The tools way, it is always there, ready for use. Now, I'm not that familiar with Maverick yet, but it may already be doing this some other way. What the equivalent in domify would be a block of xml being added to the dom for each object/class that I define. So that in any one of my xsl pages I could access <xsl:value of="//user/lastName"/> and <xsl:value-of="//user/firstName"/>. Does my explanation sound crazy? Am I making sense? Because it doesn't seem like it when I read over this message. And just to make clear with my first question. I define the DomifyViewFactory and then point my command to a controller and a view and my collections will 'automagically' be part of the dom? Neato.
