Store them wherever it makes the most sense in your application. Storing under WEB-INF has the advantage the you can't accidentally make the templates available in their raw form. > Should FTLs be part of the WAR file in the appserver or can they be > hosted on a webserver (like other static files like css, js etc.)? They must be part of a Web application, as they must be processed on the server side. > .Is there any performance impact one way or other? Practically no. (One storage mechanism can be faster than other, but there is no FreeMarker-specific performance impact there. Also, templates are usually cached by FreeMarker, so they are read from the storage only once, and then only their last-modification-date is checked sometimes.) > Thanks! -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
