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
