This renderer class is from tomahawk sandbox (James, if you'd said that it would have saved me some time). Class DefaultTemplateEncoder does indeed use freemarker. But as far as I can see, the DefaultTemplateEncoder class is only loaded if TemplateRenderer.encodeTemplate is called. So I would think that an attempt to load this class (and therefore freemarker) only occurs if you try to use the associated component in your page. And if you don't want to have freemarker around then you should avoid using sandbox components that need it.. The sandbox class HtmlOutputTextRenderer does extend TemplateRenderer. The name is a little suspicious; it sounds initially like a custom renderer for the standard h:outputText class, but I really doubt that. I would guess it's just a confusing name, and that it is a renderer for a special sandbox component. I don't have time to look any further at the moment. Martin Marinschek appears to have been the most recent person to work on this (and that was july last year). Martin? Regards, Simon
