5.3. FreeMarker Template Examples

  • Inline template example: 
    <smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd" xmlns:ftl="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/freemarker-1.1.xsd">
    <ftl:freemarker applyOnElement="order">
        <ftl:template><!--<orderId>${order.id}</orderId>--></ftl:template>
    </ftl:freemarker>
</smooks-resource-list>
  • FreeMarker external template example: 
    <smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd" xmlns:ftl="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/freemarker-1.1.xsd">
    <ftl:freemarker applyOnElement="order">
        <ftl:template>/templates/shop/ordergen.ftl</ftl:template>
    </ftl:freemarker>
</smooks-resource-list>
  • Add the <use> element to the <ftl:freemarker> configuration in order to allow Smooks to perform a number of operations upon the resulting output. See the example below: 
    <ftl:freemarker applyOnElement="order">
    <ftl:template>/templates/shop/ordergen.ftl</ftl:template>
    <ftl:use>
        <ftl:inline directive="insertbefore" />
    </ftl:use>
</ftl:freemarker>
