             Summary: Buffer/Flush behaviour in FreemarkerResult
                 Key: WW-4749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4749
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Results
            Reporter: Lorenzo Bernacchioni
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.5.next


Scenario: the application use freemarker with a 
{{TemplateExceptionHandler.RETHROW_HANDLER}} policy, but occasionally needs to 
produce large XML (20~200Mb) and goes out of memory.

In 
[FreemarkerResult|http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.struts/struts2-core/2.5-BETA1/org/apache/struts2/views/freemarker/FreemarkerResult.java#191]
 there are two possible behaviours (line 191):

 * *Buffer-behaviour*: the whole template is processed and if everything is OK 
it is flushed to the output, otherwise an exception is thrown and handled at 
higher level before any output has been sent. This is intended to be used when 
{{TemplateExceptionHandler.RETHROW_HANDLER}} is active
* *Flush-behaviour*: template is processed and flushed according to freemarker 
library policies, used with any other {{TemplateExceptionHandler}}

Since {{TemplateExceptionHandler}} cannot be switched for a given request (it 
is a global configuration embedded in {{FreemarkerManager}}) there is no way to 
force a Flush-behaviour. (you can only force a Buffer-behaviour using 
{{(isWriteIfCompleted}})

I implemented a more flexible solution that let you force the behaviour in both 
ways:

{code:title=FreemarkerResult.java|borderStyle=solid}
    final boolean willUsebufferedWriter;
    if (useBufferedWriter != null){
        willUsebufferedWriter = useBufferedWriter;
    }else{
        willUsebufferedWriter = configuration.getTemplateExceptionHandler() == 
TemplateExceptionHandler.RETHROW_HANDLER;
    }
                
    if (willUsebufferedWriter){
    ...
    }else{
    ...
   }       
{code}

where {{useBufferedWriter}} is a parameter that can be modified per resquest

{code}
<result type="freemarker">
        <param name="location">big_feed.ftl</param>
        <param name="contentType">text/xml</param>
        <param name="useBufferedWriter">false</param>
</result>
{code}
