Aha, figured it out: I need to do
processTemplate(template);
String homeBlock = template.getBlock("homeBlock");
or actually
Template tpl = (Template) template.clone();
processTemplate(tpl);
String homeBlock = tpl.getBlock("homeBlock");
if I don't want to worry about it possibly resolving values whose
defaults I haven't overridden yet.
Is that pretty much the way to go?
Indeed, that's for the standard values that the RIFE's web engine
replaced automatically. Normally this is done when you print out the
template through the element's print method.
Note that by using getBlock everything is evaluated, even the
placeholders that are filled in with the state information for the
exits and the submissions. There's another method however,
getDefferedBlock, that gives you all the individual content snippets.
Hope this clarifies it a little bit.
Take care,
Geert
