Thanks for the feedback, David. Your approach will work if you have some control over the data model. That is unfortunately not an option for me right now, but it’s great that you can take that approach. Chris From: David Levine [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 4:10 PM To: FreeMarker-devel Subject: Re: [Freemarker-devel] Extensions to allow introspection of Freemarker template Hello Christopher, Do you want to parse the freemarker HTML to pull out the freemarker variable references so you can create a data model that will work for any given freemarker template? I can see why you'd want to do that. You need want to live with some restrictions in terms of what you might pick up automatically by introspection. In our case, what we do is define the data model separately in an XML file, such that the data model matches what the form expects. From that data model, we generate a form that a user can fill out, and from that form input we generate the data model which will match what the HTML expects (in terms of Freemarker variable references). Hope that helps!
