[chef] Re: Wrapper cookbook requires template of wrapped cookbook

[Steve Hummingbird < >]

Thanks, 
probably I don’t understand your proposal for a fix correctly. The relevant 
part of the java provider looks like this:

> template jinfo_file do
>         source "oracle.jinfo.erb"
>         variables(
>           :priority => new_resource.alternatives_priority,
>           :bin_cmds => new_resource.bin_cmds,
>           :name => java_name,
>           :app_dir => app_home
>         )
>         action :create
>       end

To me that looks hardcoded, but probably you are referring a completely 
different part. Could you please clarify that?
