look at the FTl's in ofbiz.
Plus they can be defined in widgets.
groovy code in the action folder are used to marshal data the send the
parameters to the ftl.
so no java are needed to be included in the flts
if you use the widgets you can put groovy code n the widget and then
call the ftl.
there are many examples.
The problem as I see it is that the ftls from the CMS will not bee aware
of the parameters passed by ofbiz and/or groovy scripts.
