I have looked at it now. I haven't seen any big issues. I ran into
small things (some of you may know about):

- Bug: Template-related errors point to the dataModel in the response JSON

- Bug: The validForm function in script.js... you will see if you look at
  it. I think blocking submissions with empty template is good, and
  empty data-model is not a problem.

- All the old non-AJAX code can be removed now

- Cleaning up stuff like unnecessary buildFreeMarkerResponse method,
  debug logs in scrip.js, etc. Also naming cleanup, like
  FreeMarkerError to ErrorCode. And use name() instead of
  toString() for enums.

- Submitting makes the edit boxes "flash", as you quickly disable and
  enable them. I think it's kind of unpleasant. Maybe you just
  shouldn't disable them, only the submitt button, and then show the
  usual spinning wheel over the output area. Or something like that.

- The selenium JUnit test fails. I guess it won't work with AJAX
  anyway, so it will have to be removed, but I haven't looked into it.

- Can `Map<String, String> problems` be a
  `Map<ExecuteResourceErrorFields, String>`? I'm not sure if Jeresy
  will handle that, but if it does, it's cleaner.
