I'll take a look at Velocity...one of the reasons we didn't look at an existing templating engine is we have a lot of very specific business logic with how the templates are managed, who can make what changes, etc, etc... As for the temp directory, I thought about that too but it made me uncomfortable. Who knows how the temp directory structure might change with different versions of JBoss. Or even what guarantee there is that files written into there are available how I want. I guess before I jump down that road I'd want some input from a JBoss developer that it's "OK".
