Freemarker comparison - macro recursion
Of paramount importance for me is possibility to invoke a macro
recursively. Can you do that with Velocity?
But I'm only beginning to use template engines so eventually breaking
out of loops, name spaces and XML transformation capabilities
different from XSLT might become interesting in the future.
Eventually it's not only about my current issues. Other programmers
will have to decide between Velocity and FreeMarker, so it would be
good if the comparison list is correct.
Regards,
Meikel

Hi,
Maintenance wide, I give Velocity two thumbs up. Velocity is simple
and efficient.
We are using Velocity for our web based application and we are very
happy with it.

yes of course, but it's usually easier to handle on the java side (you
can have a little tool that enumerate the leaves of a tree for
instance).
if you still think recursion is your way, it's easier with the #local
macro (which is not included by default, it should be somewhere in a
subversive whiteboard), which role is to protects the variables
namespace inside each level of recursion.
