Re: Configuration capabilities

Hi,

thanks again for your reply.
The Error i get is this:

Error reading imported file spring.ftl
The problematic instruction:
----------
==> import "/spring.ftl" as spring [on line 2, column 1 in index.ftl]

Basicly he doesn't find the template. It's strange i have the jar file on
WEB-INF/lib/ so it normaly should work.
