If you are using struts 2.0.9 or earlier, then you will have to copy the template directory out of the struts2-core jar file into your web-app. (Off the top of my head, I can't remember if you copy it to context-root, context-root/WEB-INF, context-root/WEB-INF/classes, but I'm sure that's in the docs or online somewhere).
If you are using 2.0.10 or higher, then just set the mentioned value to true... You can do that by putting this in your struts.xml file - <constant name="struts.freemarker.templatesCache" value="true" /> -Wes On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 2:33 PM, Hoying, Ken <ken_hoy...@premierinc.com> wrote: > I am finding the text regarding the enablement of Freemarker template caching > in the performance tuning document > (http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/performance-tuning.html) to be a bit > confusing. > > The document states: > <start clip> > As of Struts 2.0.10, setting the property struts.freemarker.templatesCache > to true will enable the Struts internal caching of Freemarker templates.
