Fanyun,

I am learning, so I hope you don't mind if we discuss 
this a little further :-)

test.getLayout(Rundata data) function to determin the layout. But

Excellent point! I did not notice that "getLayout" returned the 
name of the class. 

So, when using the "WebMacroSite" classes is
it more convenient to specify the template in the URL. Then the 
template will determine the screen and the layout. I understand
that WebMacroSite makes it convenient to convert a site of largely
static content to Turbine.  But if I am starting new, should my
URLs request templates (*.wm) or screens (and let the screen decide 
the template to return, ala MVC)?  I realize that the screen can 
always "short circuit" the template to be returned.  It seems like, 
if I use WebMacroSite*, the logic of my application is driven by 
templates, is this limiting?  Sorry, if I 
am making this to complicated!:-)
