the intent was to not to make a partial string if some of the variable
are missing
probably we can enhance TemplateTransformer by using an extra
attribute on the field
<field column="id" template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}${x.vurl}"
ignoreMissingVariables="true"/>
then it can just resolve with whatever is available...
