Huh?

I think http://freemarker.org/docs/pgui_quickstart.html tells how to
use FreeMarker on the programmer's side quite clearly. Also there are
some examples packed with the "examples" directory of the FreeMarker
distro, including a Struts 1.x example.

After you get a template, you have a Template object, that you can
"process", i.e., merge with a data-model, for as many times as you
want. But I guess that was clear. If not, then you missed the Getting
Started stuff linked above.

Well, something that the Getting Started doesn't mention that you can
create the freemarker.core.Environment manually, as shown in
http://freemarker.org/docs/app_faq.html#faq_question_19, which lets
you adjust or read the runtime environment of the template both before
and after the template is processed.

No... Template objects are immutable. OK, not quite, but basically
yes.

I don't know what you mean by this.

But what *exactly* is your question?
