[FreeMarker-user] FreeMarker and java.util.Optional

[Eirik L. <eir...@gm...>]

Hi,

Starting with java 8, java supports the new "Optional" class (
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Optional.html).

* Did anybody give any thought to how this integrates with FreeMarker, for
example through a (custom?) ObjectWrapper or the like?

We will probably start exposing certain elements in our java layer as
Optional<SomeBusinessObject>. We haven't yet really thought about how this
integrates with FreeMarker, but I thought it better to ask sooner rather
than later, in case somebody has already been through this!
