Basic examples for the Freemarker template engine used in a servlet
This example demonstrates the basics of Freemarker, a template engine for Java applications, very useful to generate the html output of web applications.
This is a sample application developed during the lectures of the Web Engineering course. The code is organized to best match the lecture topics and examples. It is not intended for production use and is not optimized in any way.
This example code will be shown and described approximately during the 18th lecture of the course, so wait to download it, since it may get updated in the meanwhile.
This is a Maven-based project. Simply download the code and open it in any Maven-enabled IDE such as Netbeans or Eclipse.
The main branch contains the application version to be run on the JakartaEE 10 platform inside the Apache Tomcat 11 server. Note that you may need to configure the project deploy settings in your IDE based on the chosen platform/server: refer to the IDE help files to perform this step. For example, in Apache Netbeans, you must enter these settings in Project properties > Run.
The JEE branch contains the old application version designed to run on the JavaEE 8 platform inside Apache Tomcat 9, and is no longer maintained or updated.
