Description
| Interface Summary | |
| CacheListener | An interface for classes that listen for CacheEvents. |
| ListenerAdapter | An interface for adapters that GenericEventMulticaster can use to fire an event. |
| TemplateCache | An interface for self-updating caches of compiled Templates. |
| TemplateHashModel | Hashes in a template data model must implement this interface. |
| TemplateListModel | List values in a template data model must implement this interface, which is essentially the Iterator interface plus a rewind() method that allows the list to be read again. |
| TemplateMethodModel | Method calls in a template data model must implement this interface. |
| TemplateModel | A template's data model must be a tree of objects, each of which implements a subinterface of TemplateModel. |
| TemplateModelRoot | The root node of a template data model must implement this interface. |
| TemplateProcessor | Objects representing compiled templates must implement this interface. |
| TemplateScalarModel | Scalar values in a template data model must implement this interface. |
| Updatable | An interface for objects that need to be reminded to update themselves from time to time. |
| Class Summary | |
| CacheEvent | An event fired by self-updating caches. |
| FileTemplateCache | A TemplateCache that loads templates from a filesystem. |
| GenericEventMulticaster | A generic event multicaster class. |
| SimpleHash | A simple implementation of the TemplateHashModel and TemplateModelRoot interfaces, using a HashMap. |
| SimpleList | A simple implementation of the TemplateListModel interface, using a LinkedList. |
| SimpleScalar | A simple implementation of the TemplateScalarModel interface, using a String. |
| Template | An application or servlet can instantiate a subclass of Template to compile and process an HTML template. |
| TemplateServletUtils | A class containing static utility methods to facilitate using templates with servlets. |
| UpdateTimer | A timer for objects that implement Updatable. |
| Exception Summary | |
| TemplateException | The FreeMarker classes use this exception internally. |
| TemplateModelException | Template model classes should throw this exception if requested data cannot be retrieved. |
Allows Java servlets and applications to generate HTML pages based on templates, so that graphic design can be kept separate from application logic.
The source code for a template is an HTML document that contains instructions for including dynamically-generated data. These instructions are simple and unobtrusive (so the graphic designers can still do their work), but powerful enough to let you use data structures of arbitrary complexity. It's easy to generate tables of data, and you can use "if" and "switch" statements to generate conditional HTML.
The Template class compiles a template file into an efficient data structure for later use. A servlet can compile its template(s) in its init() method, then use the Template object(s) to process each request. Processing of compiled templates is very fast.
