Sitemesh + WebWork2 + FreeMarker

Hi all,

With the latest sitemesh cvs snapshot, I've added a support for Freemaker
decorators, with exactly the same context attributes than for the Velocity
decorators :
$title
$head
$body
$base
$page

Freemaker decorators haven't any dependencies from WebWork. But, you CAN use
EVERY ww2 tags inside freemarker templates (decorators or includes) with a
remaining stack behind (eg last action pushed onto the stack)

Example of freemarker decorator :

<#include "/includes/decorators/header.ftl">
    <h2>${title}</h2>
    ${head}
    <img src="${base}/images/logo.gif" border="0">
    <td valign="top" class="body">
        <div class="header">
            <span class="pagetitle">${title}</span>
        </div>
        ${body}
    </td>
<#include "/includes/decorators/footer.ftl">

Example of header.ftl:

<#assign ww=JspTaglibs["/WEB-INF/lib/webwork.tld"] />

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" border="0"
bgcolor="#003366">
<tr>
    <td height="30" valign="top" width="5%" nowrap><img
src="${base}/images/logo.gif"></td>
    <td valign="bottom" width="65%" nowrap style="color:white;"> Application
v<@ww.property value="@com.uniclick.afbah.Constants@VERSION"/> </td>
    <td valign="bottom" align="right" width="30%" nowrap
style="color:white;">
        <@ww.property value="#session['com.uniclick.user'].longName"/>
        <br>
    	<a href="logout.action" style="color:white;">Logout</a><br>
    <!--	<a href="?printable=true" style="color:white;"
target="_blank">Printable</a> -->
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

<@ww.component template="menu.vm">
	<@ww.param name="menuSection" value="menuSection"/>   --> Read menuSection
from the WW2 stack
</@ww.component>

If you find it interesting, I would share my code.
My 2 cents.
