/**
 * This class allows one to specify paths in the setPage method 
 * using '/' slash as opposed to the ',' used in TemplateLink.
 * It is less efficient as the '/' are converted to ',' to avoid
 * problems parsing the pathinfo after conversion in a web server. 
 * 
 * It is recommended that projects standardize on using the ',' 
 * separator and use TemplateLink.  But this class is available for
 * those who do not mind the inefficiency.
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * This is an application pull tool for the template system. You should <b>not</b>
 * use it in a normal application!
 *
 * @deprecated Use {@link org.apache.turbine.services.pull.tools.TemplateLink} instead and fix up your template references.
