RE: [Springframework-developer] FreeMarker

[Cameron B. <ca...@da...>]

Darren,

	Yeah I make heavy usage of freemarker.

	Are you still using the FreemarkerServlet ?

	my requirements for Configuration are pretty simple at the moment,
within a subclass of FreemarkerServlet :

	createConfiguration() - I run configuration.setSharedVariable a few
times to add=20
		- converter utils
		- formatter utils
		- money utils
		- an ognl tool
		- an enum template model (to allow me to access hibernate
persistent string enums)

	protected boolean preTemplateProcess(
		HttpServletRequest request,
		HttpServletResponse response,
		Template template,
		TemplateModel templateModel)
 	- I add some request scoped components
		- browser identifyer tool
		- url generating tool like the velocity link tool (depends
on request)
		- toolbox - custom url generation for things like actions,
jsessionid encoding, http/https changing etc..

	protected ObjectWrapper createObjectWrapper()=09
		- I configure the BeansWrapper with
.setSimpleMapWrapper(true);

	I also use freemarker for generation of emails, without using the
freemarker servlet

	To do this I just add some beans into a map (the toolbox and other
utils above) and call template.process(nmap, stringWriter);

	I am keen to look at the code that you have prepared, especially
since it will be added into spring after 1.0 final.
	Can you sent it to me ?

Thanks,

Cameron.
