specif freemarker template path

Hello,

I am learning webwork, I have exerience with Spring MVC.  I would like to use freemarker as the view technology.  In spring, you configure a FreeMarkerConfigurer and tell it what you want the templatePath to be.  Example:

<bean id="freemarkerConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
  <property name="templateLoaderPath">
    <value>/WEB-INF/freemarker/</value>
  </property>
</bean>

This is nice, because this, along with "suffix = .ftl" in the ViewResolver, allows you just refer to /WEB-INF/freemarker/user.ftl as "user" in your Controller class.

I would like to do the same thing in webwork, so I don't have to put /WEB-INF/freemarker/ over and over in the xwork.xml.  I can live with user.ftl, assuming there is no support for suffix.  I tried creating a freemarker.properties, putting it in WEB-INF/classes.  In that file, I put this:

templateLoaderPath=/WEB-INF/freemarker/

But I just get this:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Template /user.ftl not found.

This page:

Says this in the Template Loader section:

"In addition, you can specify a location (directory on your file system) thru templatePath context variable (in your web.xml). If variable is specified, the content of the directory it points to will be searched first."

So I tried adding this to my web.xml:

  <context-param>
    <param-name>templatePath</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/freemarker/</param-value>
  </context-param> 

Still the same error.  Any ideas?
