I don't understand people... really. Why on the earth they don't give
the error messages? Usually it helps a lot to find out where the
mistake is in your stuff, for those who would like to help.

Anyway, IF you wrapped the XML itself, it should be
${component.TextLines.FreeText[1].Size.@width}. I.e., not
FreeText*Array*, and XML is case-sensitive, and attributes are
referred with an initial @. And the default xmlns has to be setup
properly in the #ftl directive.
