Dear Magnolians
Can someone give me a quick primer on how to call java methods from a
Freemarker template? From looking at the documentation one does not seem to be
able to simply call a method in an object. It looks like the methods need to be
implemented as subclass of "TemplateMethodModel" (see [1]). This seems quite
complicated, but I guess I could do that. But then, where is this method added
to the data model (i.e. "root.put("methodName", new MethodClass())?
To be more specific: I would like to access the user info in a Freemarker
template, where I only have the username. So I would need a method which would
return the user (object? "data-model"? hash?) when passing in the username. I
am using the TemplatedMVCHandler class to display the template. The template
displays fine. But now I'm a bit stuck with adding the method...
Thanks for the insight!
