Re: Shared variables vs. auto-imported templates (freemarker-tags plugin)

    Hi, Daniel. Thanks for your answers.

    Sometimes I just feel stupid asking this kind of question, but I've 
been working with a lot of different stuff and I'm not a fast learner 
anymore :-/
   
    Daniel, after reading the docs I suppose that something like this 
won't work, right?

[!-- g.ftl --]
[#assign form = .globals[form]]

// AbstractTagLibAwareConfigurer.java
configuration.addAutoImport('g', 'g.ftl')

/* template, data model */
parseFtlTemplate('[#ftl/][@g.form /]', [g: 'random text'])


  Because the data model will also be global: "(...) In practice, from the viewpoint of template authors these 6 layers are only 4 layers, since from that viewpoint the last 3 layers (variables created with global, the actual data-model object, shared variables) together constitute the set of global variables. (...)"

    I'm trying to avoid the unnecessary object creation here.
   Why can't I access the Environment from a TemplateMethodModelEx? If 
globals don't solve my problem, I could write a TemplateMethodModelEx to 
return variables using Configuration.getSharedVariable():

[!-- g.ftl --]
[#assign form = weirdSharedVariableNameToGetSharedVariables('g', 'form')]

// AbstractTagLibAwareConfigurer.java
configuration.addAutoImport('g', 'g.ftl')

/* template, data model */
parseFtlTemplate('[#ftl/][@g.form /]', [g: 'random text'])

   
    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,

          Daniel.
