I'm writing a ScheduledJob that is going to send email to users.

The email needs to contain strings from UIManager and URLs
that I would normally generate using $link.

The trouble is that because I will be sending these messages 
from a ScheduledJob, data & context are not available.

It looks like I can create a context to pass to VelocityEmail
by going:

    Context context = TurbineVelocity.getContext();

and I can get a UIManager using:

    UIManager ui = new UIManager();
    ui.init(null);
    ui.setSkin(); // will use TR.props

but I am not sure about TemplateLink as with no RunData
available I really need a ServletData instance in order to 
initialise the TemplateLink instance.

    TemplateLink link = new TemplateLink(ServletData);

The only way I can see to get a ServletData object in order
to be able to correctly initialise TemplateLink is to repeat 
a bunch of code from TurbineRunDataService - I can do
this, but it seems like I am doing too much and that there
must therefore be an easier way.

Does what I am doing make sense or am I barking mad?

Any help would be appreciated.

Scott
