Thanks Will, I already had almost duplicate code from the VelocityViewServlet.initVelocity(config) method. At this point it is not a matter of knowing what to do, but just not liking my choices so much.
I use a MVC paradigm where previously the ServletContext did not need to be up into the Model to get the emailing to work. Now I either have to do what I did and extend or pass the ServletContext through the Model. This is just a silly perfectionist never statisfied programmer drawling. Likely a week from now something will click and I will have a better way. Maybe I have to figure out a better way to seperate out this View code. Oddly I appreciate the thought in the changes in 1.5 to make the VelocityViewServelet seperate as it makes it more generic. It also just makes mixed appliactions that work off of a webapp base a bit more complicated.
