How to build a Custom Include method?

Hi,

I would like to build a custom include method. Basically, I would like to be
able to call something like:

${customInclude(param1,param2)}

which will include a template almost as a traditional [#include does. There
are two main differences between this customInclude and a traditional
freemarker include:

1) customInclude add another level of indirection to get to the template
name (handled by java business objects)

2) Each customInclude might have a different model.

Today, I have an implementation that works. Basically, I implemented an
TemplateMethodModelEx method (customInclude) which implements the logic to
get the template name, and get the "Writer" object from the param. Then, I
just get the template and call template.process with the givent Writer.

It's ugly, but it work. I hide this method with a macro, so, as the pages do
not have too now about the Writer object/param.

Is there better way for doing this? Can I get some more context in a
TemplateMethodModelEx method ?


Jeremy,
