I took the idea and am trying to implement it within the TemplateService
(I think I pretty much have it, I just haven't tested anything.) One
reason being to try to avoid the indexOf operation on every request, but
it also opens up another possibility:
If the template parameter is considered a key, that can be used to get
the screen template, layout template, and Screen class, other
implementations of the service could be easier to build. Another
implementation I have in mind, is a property-type file which explicitely
lists the 3 objects associated with the key. Some people (at least at
CollabNet) prefer this implementation. I personally think the current
scheme is easier to develop with, but as you move into production it
could be good to switch to the property file implementation as it
provides a central location for tracking and turning on new templates.
But the main point being (as I don't plan to implement this other
method, right now,) is that it could be done simply by subclassing the
current TurbineTemplateService implementation and overriding one method.
