RE: [FreeMarker-user] Question about collections/sequences in datamodel

Thanks.  That worked great.  Using ArrayList type of object was the key.

Hi, Steve.

In most normal use, you don't have to use things like SimpleSequence and
so on. You can just use the objects in the regular java collections API
and the various hidden machinery will convert things behind the scenes.

So, in the case you mention, you could perfectly well just use
java.util.ArrayList for the districts and the items in the ArrayList
could be instances of java.util.HashMap
