Yes. The beauty with pull though is that you don't have to bother adding
it to the context whenever you are going to use it - you can "just use it"
(what would Nike think!)

Check out: http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/ymtd/ymtd.html

I was simply referring to this:

The JavaDoc way would be this:
/**
* Retrieve a company name.
* @param asxCode The code of the company name to be retrieved.
* @returns The long name of the company if it exists, otherwise empty string.
*/
public static String getCompanyName(String asxCode)
Which has the benefit that you can later run javadoc across your code to produce
API documentation. Having documentation is a Good Thing (tm) & may even help
challenge the ASP guys who may have difficulty doing something similar.
This is obviously off-topic so we should cease this particular discussion at least
on this list anyway.
Cheers again,
Scott
