Doubt in screen widget


    Hi,
I understand widget and decorator patterns in screen. But I am confused 
how exactly is the widget-screen identifies the location to place the ftl files.
  Example : The following is the coding in \ecommerce\widget\commonscreens.xml.
  <widgets>
                <!-- render header -->
                <platform-specific><html><html-template location="component://ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/includes/header.ftl"/></html></platform-specific>
                
                <container id="ecom-mainarea">
                    <!-- by default will render left-bar only if left/rightbarScreenName value not empty -->
    <include-screen name="${leftbarScreenName}" location="${leftbarScreenLocation}"/> 
    <include-screen name="${rightbarScreenName}" location="${rightbarScreenLocation}"/> 
                
                    <container style="${MainColumnStyle}">
                        <!-- render messages -->
                        <platform-specific><html><html-template location="component://common/webcommon/includes/messages.ftl"/></html></platform-specific> 
                         <decorator-section-include name="body"/> 
                    </container>
                    
                    <container style="endcolumns"/>
                </container>
                
                <!-- render footer -->
                <platform-specific><html><html-template location="component://ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/includes/footer.ftl"/></html></platform-specific>
            </widgets>
  
This screen includes screens leftbar and rightbar. But how does it exactly places the content in the left and right. 
what is the use of  "TemplateData.xml" ? 
   
  
Thanks 
  Thilip
