Smooks + Freemarker: building tree structure

ama1 Apr 9, 2009 5:11 AM

Hi,
I am using smooks with a virtual model, which is made of a map with an element childs, which contains a list of maps.

Those maps are my with smooks binded java beans.

Now I want to create a xml output like this:

<abc>
 <.../>
 <childs>
 <abc>
 <.../>
 <childs>
 and so on
 </childs>
 </childs>
</abc>

Unfortunatley I was not able to build up some recusive construct with freemarker. I try with the macros but that didn't work.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this?
A confirmation that tree structures are not possible with smooks+freemarker would help also.

Thanks a lot,
Patrick

ok, I found a workaround on this page:
http://freemarker.org/docs/dgui_misc_userdefdir.html

This example:
<#macro test foo>${foo} (<#nested>) ${foo}</#macro> <@test foo="A"><@test foo="B"><@test foo="C"/></@test></@test>

I call it workaround till I have to template my full tree structure in the template. Fortunatley I have "only" 9 tree-levels, so it looks not nice but it works ;-)
