I would recommend using FreeMarkerSiteLayout and FreeMarkerSitePage as your
defaults in TurbineResources. Make sure to get the latest copy of these as
well as TurbineFreeMarkerService as I just checked in a small change. Then
you can have urls like:
http://mymachine/servlet/Turbine/template/,my_fm_temp.html
Please note the comma. The path separator is a comma and the template
parameter should start with the comma. I think that is why you were missing
the File.separator.
The FreeMarker stuff needs to be brought up-to-date with the WebMacro
service. Its still very usable but Dave Bryson, et. al. have improved the
WM service and the FM service can take advantage of these improvements
(caching). I will try to get to it, but I have a few other things on my
plate and I am not using FM for anything right now. If you can live with
its limitations you might want to use WM, as you will find more support.
But I still think some of the stuff in FM is worth the ugly syntax.
