Hi Ernst! I use the sharedVariables to access my own objects from freemarker templates.
It is working well. All the objects I set as shared vars are subclasses of TemplateDirectiveModel, since I want to use them as directives. If you have a class you want to use that does not implement one of the model methods, why not create a delegate object to wrap the class you actually want to share?

According to http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/pgui_misc_beanwrapper.html#autoid_55 I can do something like BeansWrapper wrapper = BeansWrapper.getDefaultInstance(); TemplateHashModel staticModels = wrapper.getStaticModels(); TemplateHashModel fileStatics = (TemplateHashModel) staticModels.get("java.io.File"); for my class and that's it. But the shardVariables map simply maps names to classes that can be instantiated as TemplateModel. It seems that what i actually need is a kind of factory or factory method that will create the TemplateModel instance, in stead of straight instantiation. Is there something I miss, or is it simply not possible with the current setup? I also found http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3152 I think this issue addresses the same problem. Can I assume that the fact this issue is still open means that some work is still needed to make this possible? If so, I can extend FreemarkerHelper, but I rather don't if not needed. regards, -- Ernst Bunders Ontwikkelaar VPRO ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
