Freemarker (old version that struts2 uses) disappearing pages
I have a problem that seems to occur periodically.
My freemarker templates, served by struts2, stop appearing - I get a blank
page. There are no useful messages in the logs, other than saying that it
couldn't find the template (which it could find previously).
First question - does anybody know what this problem might be?
I would like to upgrade to the latest version of Freemarker. However,
Struts2 in its wisdom has locked me down to version 2.3.8, and this was
released way back in 2006. Are there any plans to resolve this issue?
I was hoping that upgrading might fix my problems..
Jonny

Re: Freemarker (old version that struts2 uses) disappearing pages
Posted by Badgerman <be...@hotmail.com>.
You've probably fixed this now, but for the reference of future googlers, the
pom fix needs a slight change:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.11.2</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>freemarker</groupId>
<artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
<artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
<version>2.3.11</version>
</dependency>
And it should work. This is because the groupID for version 2.3.8 is just
'freemarker', whereas for 2.3.11 it is 'org.freemarker', so it wouldn't pick
up the exclusion for 'org.freemarker'.

The Maven dependency plugin may be useful to you as well.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/index.html ,
specifically the dependency:tree goal.

That ought to work, assuming those two stanzas are in their respective
correct places within the pom. Check 'mvn X' output to make sure your
excludes are correct with respect to the dependency graph.

Re: Freemarker (old version that struts2 uses) disappearing pages

I use Maven, and if you look at struts 2.0.11.1's dependencies
(http://www.mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.struts/struts2-core/2.0.11.1)
you'll see that it's Freemarker version 2.3.8 it depends on. I can't
override this in Maven, even if I attempt to exclude it and force the latest
version of Freemarker:
....
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.11</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
<artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
<artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
<version>2.3.12</version>
</dependency>
....

The 2.1.1 version of Struts uses FreeMarker 2.3.11 You may be able to
replace the 2.3.8 jar with the 2.3.11 jar without problems.
I doubt the problem is with FreeMarker. It's more likely to be the
FreeMarkerManager included with Struts 2 that's responsible for
searching for templates in the classpath.
