RE: [Springframework-developer] FreeMarker

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

Yeah.. The shared varible system works.  Wrapping a map in a simple hash =
is
the same technique that I have used elsewhere.=20

For the time being I will only be using the ConfigurationFactoryBean, =
since
I don't use Spring MVC.

Are there plans to implement templates loading via the normal spring
Resource system

As well as something like a TransformerFactoryBean.  I see something =
that
provides bean property configuration of the initial context, the =
template
location, and allows custom objects to be added to the context once the =
bean
has been obtained from the context.

This will make writing an email template system quite easy :

<bean id=3D"feedbackTransformer"
class=3D"spring.ui.freemarker.TransformerFactoryBean" =
singleton=3D"false">
  <property
name=3D"templateLocation"><value>classpath:com/acme/feedback.ftl</value><=
/prop
erty>
  <!-- all properties of the context are entered into a simple hash -->
  <property name=3D"context">
    <map>etc...</map>=09
  </property>
</bean>

Then in your code you can do=20

TransformerFactoryBean transformer =3D
(TransformerFactoryBean)context.getBean("feedbackTransformer");

transformer.addParam("name", model.getName());

emailSender.send("fee...@ac...", "feedback", =
transformer.transform());

I can certainly write this implementation if it could be included in =
spring,
since I use something like it in my projects.

The only issue is that I don't understand the spring resource system.

I'll read about it you someone want me to implement this bean.

Thanks,

Cameron.
