Hi,
it seems that the Freemarker is not supporting the body content placed in 
between the portlet:renderURL tags.

<@portlet.renderURL>
      <@portlet.param  />
</@portlet.renderURL>   

in this case, what ever content placed in between the portlet.renderURL tag is 
not recognized by Freemarker. It seems to be a bug in Freemarker.

can any one please let me know my understanding is correct or any possible ways 
of resolving this issue.

Thanks,
Sunil.
