StringTemplate is about presentation. It is not involved in server side processing of a request. So if the question was about StringTemplate giving you the ability to avoid the request object then the answer is no. If you are doing Servlet or something on top of it then the request object is where the form values come from - no changing that. Frameworks such as Struts can automatically populate a bean of your choosing with request data. If you can combine StringTemplate with another framework (many allow you to plug in different presentation layers) then the answer is yes. The short answer to Keepoffthegrass is No and Yes.
