We are almost at the same level. My suggestion would be to drop the referrer and implement the functionality a little different as it is now. I would suggest to make the templatedir the one to resolve XSL's and for extending XSL's to refer to CSS's. When the template parameter is not used the /mmbasse/edit/wizards/ should be the templatedir. Next, use a close.jsp in the /mmbasse/edit/wizards/jsp directory with the message that the wizards are closed as the default returnurl. When someone wants to return to something else then the default, the returnurl parameter should be used. This way it is much clearer what the parameters are intended for. The referrer is then not needed at all. IOW the returnurl and template parameters are more logical then the referrer.
