Yes, it is possible to have one java class handle multiple templates. You

Why are you unwilling to call the class Default? If you set up the template
directories so that different sections are in different directories it is no
problem and this is the natural way to distinguish files as belonging to a
specific section
templatesRoot/chemistry/organic.wm
templatesRoot/chemistry/inorganic.wm
templatesRoot/physics/optics.wm
templatesRoot/physics/mechanics.wm
Then you have a Default.class in a package corresponding to each section:
edu.univ.modules.screens.chemistry.Default
edu.univ.modules.screens.physics.Default
Then any template in the chemistry folder will be handled by
chemistry.Default. If any template in chemistry is so different it warrants
its own class, you can override Default by naming a class the same as the
template (except the first letter is always capitalized.)
