Just out of idle curiousity, why does it look like you are attempting to
do a cast with the
((com.webhelp.emeeting.events.URLPushedEvent) $event )
bit?
Velocity has no such thing as a cast... -> it will introspect and find
getStoredData() on it's own...
And for fun, can someone translate that into JSP tags to see what it
would look like?
