Looking at TemplateString.java I see that left to itself fillTokens would
replace a missing variable with "". It is an extra check in TemplateTransformer
that is throwing the warning and stopping the row being returned. Commenting
out the check seems to solve my problem.
Having done this, an undefined replacement string in TemplateTransformer
is replaced with "". However a neater fix would probably involve making
use of the default value which can be assigned to a row? in schema.xml.
