I don't see that you need Freemarker or anything like it, nor do I see any
reason you couldn't continue to use the json-l

You might be totally right. Thanks for helping my brain along. In fact, the
new execute method should probably be for classes which do not extend
Action. Because everything is stuck in TLS, it's always accessible. For
regular POJO, use the new way.

What do you think of the idea of a being able to map to a
Freemarker template, or maybe even a class? I wouldn't view this as
repurposing it myself because the destination of a forward is someting
that renders a response... Typically it maps to a URI that is forwarded
or redirected to, but bo
I don't think it's a good idea to repurpose the attribute. It's
not identical to in s2 with a type. I would truly recommend a
