RE: [Springframework-developer] FreeMarker

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

I am going ahead and writing a Transformer anyway ;)

I'll post the code for you to look at when it is done.

One thing that your Configuration bean needs is :

At the end of ConfigurationFactory.initConfiguration()=20
	this.configuration.setTemplateLoader(new ClassTemplateLoader());

Or.. You could allow spring configuration of template loadersm ;)
