Re: Setting request scope variables from within macro

It should work with both variations. But, maybe there's a
misunderstanding regarding the life-cycle of the global scope here.
When your top-level template terminates, the global scope will be
released. It doesn't correspond to the request.

FreeMarker has no concept of Request-s or anything that's HTTP- or
Servlet-related. So how do you read or write the Request attributes
(if you can at all) is up to the Web Application Framework authors (or
to the application authors).
