Thanks to this thread the JSCookMenu component now works without the sandbox lib and therefore no freemarker exception.

The menu renders but has JS errors when an event is triggered. 'elements.jscook_action' is null or not an object. When working with myfaces 1.1 and tomahawk 1.1.5, this worked fine without the tomahawk-sandbox-1.1.7 lib. Now I'm left without an exception free startup. I did try adding in freemarker.jar but it resulted in problems when using the application. Any suggestions appreciated and thanks for your initial efforts.

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
