Use the TurbinePullService with your velocity templates. There
is an example pull model tool in org/apache/turbine/services/pull/util
call UIManager, you can use that as a model.
There is also an example of how to make your new tool available
via the standard TR.props file. The UI manager is actually a good
example because it uses a properties file for skin values so you
could copy that as a start to make a set of properties available
to your application.
jvz.
