This is correct so far, although <#if outFile?cotains(m.item.link)>
would be nicer.

(It is an error since ${Expression} only makes sense put directly into
static text or into a string literal. Elsewhere you can you just use
Expression as is.)

(I assume there will be something else next to the "item" key in that
map, or else that whole map could be eliminated, of course.)

Just like you did. Furthermore your above example works for me. So,
some of the items has no "link" in it or it's null. That's what the
error message means.

[FMPP] How to use nested directives?

[Stefan U. <su...@su...>]

Hi fmpplers,

I try to generate my menus dynamically and to activate the current menu item. So I use one directive
inside another but I do not know how to do it right. The following is taken from the example below:

    <#if outFile?index_of(m.item.link) != -1>  <!-- m.item.link is undefined -->
    <#if outFile?index_of(${m.item.link}) != -1>  <!-- syntax error -->

Complete example:

    <#assign menus = [
        {"item": {"name": "Motive", "link": "motive.html"}},
        {"item": {"name": "Action", "link": "action.html"}},
    ]>
    <#if currentLanguage == "es">
        <#assign menus = [
            {"item": {"name": "Motivos", "link": "es/motive.html"}},
            {"item": {"name": "Acción", "link": "es/action.html"}},
        ]>
    </#if>
    <ul class="nav">
        <#list menus as m>
            <li <#if outFile?index_of(m.item.link) != -1>class="active"</#if>>
                <a href="${m.item.link}">${m.item.name}</a>
            </li>
        </#list> 
    </ul>

How can I access the variable m.item.link in the #if?

Thanks,
Stefan

Subject: [FMPP] Parsing TDD Files

I'd like to use the TDD parsing functionality for reading properties files for my application. I've used FMPP for generating configuration files from templates, but I'd like to skip the generation stage, and use a TDD as the data source for run-time settings. Is this possible, or can I use a particular sub-library of FMPP to accomplish this?  Thanks!

Re: [FMPP] newbie problem

[Daniel D. <dd...@fr...>]

I'm not sure what do you expect and what's the difference compared to
that. Some questions:

- Why would you put templates into the "data" directory?

- What's in Actions.xml? Is there any FreeMarker
  directives/interpolations in it? Or is it plain XML that you want to
  transform with the template?

- You don't use the "include" variable anywhere

[FMPP] newbie problem

[CsPéter <le...@in...>]

 
Hi!
I'm newbie to fmpp and I couldn't make a front-end application work so far. I hope someone can help me.The ant build.xml looks like this (and works) :
<!--freemarker-->	<target name="freemarker" description="Freemarker test" depends="">		<taskdef name="freemarker" classname="freemarker.ext.ant.FreemarkerXmlTask">			<classpath>				<pathelement location="freemarker.jar" />			</classpath>		</taskdef>		<mkdir dir="sql" />		<freemarker basedir="${xml.dir}" destdir="${sql.dir}" includes="Actions.xml" template="${templates.dir}/test2.ftl" />  		<!--freemarker basedir="${xml.dir}" destdir="${html.dir}" includes="**/*.xml" template="${templates.dir}/test2.ftl" /-->  	</target>
My own ant task is this:<!--excelgen-->	<target name="excelgen" description="Generates things" depends="jar">	        <taskdef name="excelgen" classname="ExcelGen" classpath="${classpath}"/>		<excelgen excels="excel1, excel2" ftls="elso.ftl" outputs="html" />      </target>
And my java file:
public void execute() {		try {			File f = new File("C:/workspace/TOOLS/excelgen/");			File basedir = new File("C:/workspace/TOOLS/excelgen/xml");			File destdir = new File("C:/workspace/TOOLS/excelgen/sql");			File include = new File("C:/workspace/TOOLS/excelgen/xml/Actions.xml");			File template = new File("C:/workspace/TOOLS/excelgen/templates/");						Settings s = new Settings(f);						s .add("sourceRoot", basedir.getAbsolutePath());			s.add("outputRoot", destdir.getAbsolutePath());			s.add("dataRoot", template.getAbsolutePath());			s.execute();		} catch (Exception e1) {						e1.printStackTrace();		}		log(msg);			}
The problem is, that it's just copies the Actions.xml file to the /sql directory.
directory path:TOOLS ------------xml/Actions.xml            -----------sql/           ------------templates/test2.ftlbulild.xml
I have tried a lot of things including set the "modes" settings, switching the directores and trying out new parameters (relative paths, put all sources to one directory etc) but I couldn't make it work. Thank you very much for any help.
cheers,Peter

Re: [FMPP] Freemarker with YAML Files

[Daniel D. <dd...@fr...>]

I don't know anything concrete about this mater, but as far as I see,
some YAML libraries expose YAML as JavaBeans, in which case FreeMarker
marker can access them right now, and you don't need anything
YAML-specific.

If YAML is turned into some kind of YAML-specific nodes/entires (maybe
JvYAML does that, I don't know) instead, just like W3C DOM nodes are
wrapped, those could be too, but then someone needs to write the
wrapper first... (Yes, that was what you were looking for.)

[FMPP] Freemarker with YAML Files

[Chris <cb...@cb...>]

Hello,

i'd like to use the freemarker tool in my RubyOnRails Application. 

In the App i have much YAML Files with Properties.

Is there any way to use them with freemarker (or the cli version fmpp) ?!?

I have used the fmpp tool in different projekt but only with properties
files.... and my google search give me no results to "yaml and freemarker"
:-)

Thank you very much for your help!!

Chris

The above line should be just:

  <#if parameters.cssStyle == "vertical">

Does the same but cleaner and faster...

Also, the two #if could be united as

  <#if parameters.cssStyle?exists and parameters.cssStyle == "vertical">

which furthermore can be reduced to:

  <#if parameters.cssStyle!'' == "vertical">

That's a HTML question, and so it has nothing to do wit FreeMarker.
But you could use a HTML table, or div-s with fixed width and CSS
floating.

,but the problem is the checkboxes starting from the 2nd column are not in
the line 
something like this

  1 chkbox     2 chkbox
  3 chkbox        4 chkbox
  5 chkbox    5 chkbox 

 i want it to be as 
  1 chkbox            2 chkbox

Re: [FMPP] How to include java code into freemarker's data model in fmpp?

[alebu <al...@gm...>]

Well, I tried to specify maven classpath and it looks like maven
classpath includes my custom code, but FMPP still can not see it.
While running maven build, ant-run prints it classpath and classes I
need to have in FMPP are included. But Freemarker instance used by
FMPP can't see them. I used Freemarker's new() modifier to create an
object, like:
<#assign AA="my.functionObject.full.ClassName"?new()>
and got build error like:
     [fmpp] Task aborted: FMPP processing session failed.
     [fmpp] Caused by: freemarker.template.TemplateException:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: my.functionObject.full.ClassName
     [fmpp] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
my.functionObject.full.ClassName

In general, I wanted to add some custom complex logic into template
environment. This time only as custom freemarker function, but if this
strategy will work, then more logic will be possible to add.
Constructing that object in beanshell also failed with
ClassNotFoundException. It seems that FMPP freemarker instance
classpath is not the same as is passed to FMPP itself, or Maven
ant-run-plugin does not passes correct classpath. Is there any chances
that such a behaviour will be fixed in the nearest furure?

For those who interested, here is my configuration of maven ant run:

Re: [FMPP] How to include java code into freemarker's data model in fmpp?

[alebu <al...@gm...>]

Defininion of custom ant tasks in maven-ant-run plugin is described
here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/examples/customTasks.html
In general, configuration looks like <taskdef name="myTask"
classname="com.acme.MyTask" classpathref="maven.plugin.classpath"/>
This 'maven.plugin.classpath' is defined by maven and is plugin
classpath. Perhaps I need to play with it to get what I want. At least
it worth to try. Thanks for hint!

How did you define the fmpp task? Because it wouldn't work unless you
have put it into the "Ant classpath" somehow. Can't you add your
classes to the "Ant classpath" one the same way? (The Ant "taskdef"
element has optional "classpath" and "classpathref" attributes, also I
believe it supports nested "classpath" element too.)

Re: [FMPP] How to include java code into freemarker's data model in fmpp?

I think that under Ant. Maven-ant-run plugin allows to pass maven
classpath to Ant. At least that is stated in documentation. But I
can't find how to specify any class path to FMPP it self from ant. And
that is the problem. I am thinking about possible maven FMPP plugin

This issue might not be FMPP-specific. Sounds like it's just about
setting up the "class path" under Maven (or maybe under Ant).

Re: [FMPP] How to include java code into freemarker's data model in fmpp?

[alebu <al...@gm...>]

Thanks, I found this one be seeking discussion. Unfortunately, I am
not sure is it helpful, because I am running FMPP from Ant (actually
from maven using maven-ant-run plugin). So, I can't manipulate
classpath of fmpp, because I even have no installation of it, FMPP
code comes from maven repository. During the week, I will try to play
with it (now I am at work and have no access to code where I want to

[FMPP] How to include java code into freemarker's data model in fmpp?

[alebu <al...@gm...>]

Hi all,
How can I specify FMPP to include some compiled java code or jar files
in the freemarker classpath? I need it because I want to use some of
the functions written with java from freemarker templates and because
FMPP instanciates freemarker instance, I can't affect a classpath it
passes to it.

Re: [FMPP] Using FMPP Output Tags separately

[alebu <al...@gm...>]

Thanks for superior answer!
Maybe I will use FMPP as an example of those output tags implementation.

Unfortunatelly that's not supported by FMPP... altough FreeMarker
itself can load template from classpath, but there is no public API in
FMPP to achieve that. Worst, it has a real reason that it hasn't: FMPP
directly uses java.io.File etc. to process the source directory (which
not only consist of templates, so I couldn't use FreeMarker's loader
anyway). Next time I write a preprocessor surely I will use some kind
of virtual file-system, but when I wrote FMPP, I just didn't need
that... and now, it would be quite a work to allow loading from non-fs
sources. Unless, you just want to #import/#include those
classloader-loaded templates, becaue via "freemarkerLinks" (see on
http://fmpp.sourceforge.net/settings.html) those templates can be
outside the source root directory. Currently even "freemarkerLinks"
only support plain files, but that wouldn't be a big deal to improve.

See above... FreeMarker has its own template loader mechanism... that
can do things that FMPP's own "loader" can't (and the other way
around).

What do you mean? FreeMarker has templates, and that's not "data", but
a "program".

In general, if the approach of FMPP (that can be grasped from the
Qucik Start chapter) doesn't fit your task then don't use it. It's a
tool for a quite specific class of tasks... If yours differs (that I
don't know) FMPP will more in your way than it hellps, and you are
better of using pure FreeMarker. The FMPP tags are not necesarly easy
to extract as is, because they depend on FMPP... but then, you only
have to implement the tags that your application needs. You need
something similar that a certain FMPP tag, you can still peek into the
FMPP source code... Those output slitter tags you meantion are quite
trivial to implement. You will immediatelly see if you look at
FreeMarker.

[FMPP] Using FMPP Output Tags separately

[alebu <al...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I need some guidelines about FMPP API. I am interested in collecting
data for FMPP engine using my own code. In general, I only interested
in those wanderfull tags, that allows to create multiple outputs from
single template. The questions are:
1) What objects are responsible for actual generation part of code?
2) How to configure them ? I was looking at code and I saw that
TemplateEnvironment has some tags definitions, and Engine is using it
somehow.
3) How to specify to search templates in classpath (it is important
for me). Also, if templates uses some macros and additional includes,
then it must be specified too. It is probably more Freemarker
question, but still...

In few words, i want to write a code that:
1) Takes some data (as freemarker content)
2) Instanciate FMPP Engine, configures it to use those tags and search
templates and other Freemarker specific resources in classpath.
3) Processes data. Here I need to correctly handle output.

Or maybe it is worth to somehow move those fmpp specific tags into
freemarker environment? In this case, how can it be done?

General overview of solution will be fine for me, just point me please
on the right directions (classes, execution chain, etc).

Thanks in advance!

Aha. Unfortunately that won't work. FreeMarker itself has no problem
with classpath resources, but "by design" FMPP has, since it deals
with files directly, no VFS abstraction or like. This thing was
originally written to solve some dirty file preprocessing issues for
me, and that was the quick way... /-:

If it's really a big problem for you, you might consider using
FreeMarker directly. If you depend on many FMPP features, that could
be painful though.

Re: [FMPP] FMPP SourceFile Classpath

[Shelley, R. <Rya...@di...>]

Well, what I really need is to be able to put my template and sources in
a JAR, and then in my .fmpp config files, reference them like:

sources: classpath:/in/my/classpath/source.properties
inheritConfiguration: classpath:/in/my/classpath/template.properties

or in the Ant Task, like:

<fmpp sourceFile="classpath:/in/my/classpath/template.properties"
data="classpath:/in/my/classpath/data.properties" />
    Or
<fmpp configuration="classpath:/in/my/classpath/foobar.fmpp"
data="classpath:/in/my/classpath/data.properties" />

Then I can bundle my sources and templates in a JAR that can be read
when that JAR is loaded on the classpath, then run my Maven Ant Tasks
and have those resources found without having to give explicit
filesystem paths.

Here's the scenario. I have two maven projects, one that builds a JAR
that contains resource files and some classes (say, an arbitrary Service
module), the second (say, a WAR Web App) depends on the first (the web
component uses the arbitrary Service module) and has a Maven Ant Run
FMPP task to generate some property files based upon the templates that
exist in the first project that configures the dependent Service for
that specific Web app.  At the moment, my FMPP Ant Task takes a
filesystem path to the configuration file or the filesystem path to the
source and data files.

Right now my Maven Ant Tasks, configuration files, etc all need
relative/absolute filesystem paths that may change between developer
environments (our source repo allows arbitrary folder mapping in
workspaces, so I can't guarantee another developer's project workspace
looks like mine).

If it's not currently supported, that's fine, just want make sure I'm
not missing some functionality that's built in.  And if not, maybe
(assuming I get some bandwidth), I could help contribute.  Thanks!

Which is not at all trivial to do for those who are not wrestled in
Java... so, here is the recipe:

(a) Easy but dirty solution: Just drop the jar into $FMPP_HOME/lib,
and it will automatically see it, but only when you are using the
$FMPP_HOME/bin/fmpp shell script for running the FMPP projects. This
has global effect in the sense that all FMPP projects that are run
with $FMPP_HOME/bin/fmpp will see the extra jars added there.

(b) The clean solution: Create a "lib" sub-directory in your FMPP
*project* directory, and drop the extra jar into there. Then, in the
same directory you should create a bash script (or .bat, on Windows)
that runs FMPP with your own custom class-path:

  On Linux/UN*X:

    java -cp
./lib/yourExtra1.jar:./lib/yourExtra2.jar:$FMPP_HOME/lib/fmpp.jar
fmpp.tools.CommandLine

  On Windows:

    java -cp
.\lib\yourExtra1.jar;.\lib\yourExtra2.jar;%FMPP_HOME%\lib\fmpp.jar
fmpp.tools.CommandLine

Note that the scrip assumes that the working directory is already your
project directory (you may need to "cd" into it as the first step in
the script). Also it assumes that you have an FMPP_HOME environment
variable; if you don't have it, not a problem, just replace it with a
concrete path in the above scripts (or better, define the environment
variable locally in the scrip).

Yeah, someday I should invest into writing a native launcher app. that
does all the Java setup magic automatically... /-:
