/**
* A generic servlet for serving (mostly HTML) templates.
*
* It delegates work to a groovy.text.TemplateEngine implementation
* processing HTTP requests.
*
*
Usage
*
* helloworld.html is a headless HTML-like template
*
* <html>
* <body>
* <% 3.times { %>
* Hello World!
* <% } %>
* <br>
* </body>
* </html>
*
*
* Minimal web.xml example serving HTML-like templates
*
* <web-app>
* <servlet>
* <servlet-name>template</servlet-name>
* <servlet-class>groovy.servlet.TemplateServlet</servlet-class>
* </servlet>
* <servlet-mapping>
* <servlet-name>template</servlet-name>
* <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
* </servlet-mapping>
* </web-app>
*
*
*
Template engine configuration
*
* By default, the TemplateServer uses the {@link groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine}
* which interprets JSP-like templates. The init parameter template.engine
* defines the fully qualified class name of the template to use:
*
* template.engine = [empty] - equals groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine
* template.engine = groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine
* template.engine = groovy.text.GStringTemplateEngine
* template.engine = groovy.text.XmlTemplateEngine
*
*
*
Servlet Init Parameters
*
*
Logging and extra-output options
*
* This implementation provides a verbosity flag switching log statements.
* The servlet init parameter name is:
*
* generated.by = true(default) | false
*
*
*
Groovy Source Encoding Parameter
*
* The following servlet init parameter name can be used to specify the encoding TemplateServlet will use
* to read the template groovy source files:
*
* groovy.source.encoding
*
*
* @author Christian Stein
* @author Guillaume Laforge
* @see TemplateServlet#setVariables(ServletBinding)
