hmm.

this note is kinda sliding into phase 2 already, but we're pretty close to
that anyway, so i don't think it'll hurt to comment on it...
i don't propose using my LinkTool in any fashion resembling the VTL above.
i think the path, action, forward, query data, etc. all needs to be part of
the same tool. the VTL above would become extremely annoying if we had to
do that for every link w/query data. i would prefer to see a velstruts
specific version of LinkTool that includes a setAction(String) and
forward(String) that behave in similar fashion to LinkTool.setPath(String).
that way a link w/query data is as simple as
<a
href="$link.forward('login').addQueryData('action','checkAuth')">Login</a>
it should be simple to modify LinkTool in such a way. but to talk about
that would be slipping into phase 3....
