[Springframework-developer] Velocity / Freemarker request & response objects

[Rob B. <cro...@ya...>]

Hello all,

Is there any particular reason that the request and
response objects are not exposed in the velocity &
freemarker views?  It makes things like
request.isUserInRole() and response.setContentType()
more difficult to use in the templates than they
should be.

Would it be possible to add a methods like

setExposeRequestAs(String in)
and
setExposeResponseAs(String in)

to AbstractTemplateView?   

If the above methods are not called, the
request/response would not be exposed in the
templates.  If they were called, then the objects
would be exposed in the templates using the passed in
names.  In this way, if someone wanted to expose the
request to the templates with a non-default name (i.e.
something other than request) that would be possible. 

Later
Rob
