Yes, I was missing that point. However, I can still accomplish this
very easily:
<a href="{{config.requestURL}}/mypagehandler{{session.urlId}}">link</a>
Here config and session are objects (in this case a HashMap and an
HttpSession), upon which a key or method call is made to provide the
data. In the case of session, our engine resolves "urlId" to one of
three possibilities: (1) a map key (session.get("urlId")), (2) a getter
method (so session.getUrlId()), or (3) an actual method call (so
session.urlId()). We also account for object adapters to direct the
dynamic resoltion of the data; so the developer can provide an
HttpSessionAdapter with an urlId method calling the actual
session.getValue("urlId"), etc. So, yes, maybe in this case the
designer does need to remember to stick the {{session.urlId}} on the end
of hrefs.
I suppose in JSP it could be comparable (but much less readable, with
lots of context lookups and <%= ...%>).
