Hey guys,
The one use of the renderer that I make use of outside of the pipeline
is to send email:
TemplateContext c = new DefaultTemplateContext();
... fill it up ..
Sting email = renderer.render(c, templateName);
... mail out email ..
It's really not a big deal (just allow a null RunData in the Renderer),
but that was my outside the pipeline usage of the Renderer.
Perhaps there are other/better ways?
keep up the great work!!!
