Freemarker

Hello

I can not find any documentation about developing ofbiz applications with presentaion layer witch 
is created by freemarker templates.
If there is some documentation please share with me.l
If there is some good example application in OFbiz (applicaion with presentaion layer implemented by freenarker templates) please tell me. 

I am new to OFbiz. Is there some difference if i create service implemented  by java and use freemarker tempaltes or I use xml for define the presentaion layer ? (I mean the difference in the service itself)

Also u can try and take help with the following:

http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/

you can search for several examples in OfBiz regarding the usage of 
Ftl's by searching for similar tags like

<platform-specific>
 <html><html-templatelocation="component://hivemindpsp/webapp/hivemindpsp/task/FindTask.ftl"/></html>                               
</platform-specific>

that calls for an Ftl.And in the respective file u can see the rest.

Thanks and Regards
Harsha

ofbiz has been migrating from Freemaker to widgets.
Freemaker pages are use in widgets for thing that are easier in freemaker
You will find a lot more in ver 3.0, which is not actively supported.
Not sure where you can get the ver 3.0 now.
the best documentation is to look up the handler in the controller, for
ftl and read the code.
then do a search in the webapp folders for *.ftl and read them
also read the *.groovy files that process data before and after the ftl.
usually the name for the groovy is the same as the ftl file.
