« Hide

On http://www.opensymphony.com/webwork/wikidocs/TutorialLesson04-03.html, the docs state that $wwUtil will make available an instance of com.opensymphony.webwork.util.FreemarkerWebWorkUtil to the template.

If you use $wwUtil, you get an exception similar to

Expression wwUtil is undefined on line 78, column 3 in WEB-INF/ftl/header.ftl.
The problematic instruction:
----------
==> ${wwUtil} [on line 78, column 1 in WEB-INF/ftl/header.ftl]
in include "header.ftl" [on line 1, column 1 in WEB-INF/ftl/Home.ftl]
----------

Java backtrace for programmers:
----------
freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException: Expression wwUtil is undefined on line 78, column 3 in WEB-INF/ftl/header.ftl.

After looking through $SRC\java\com\opensymphony\webwork\views\freemarker\FreemarkerManager.java, I found that (on line 179) the key is being set as KEY_WEBWORK instead of KEY_WWUTIL. I have no idea whether this is a bug or error in documentation, just thought I would bring it to your attention.

Other than that, thanks for a great product!!

the correct value to use is $webwork. I've fixed this in the docs. Thanks.

The buildUrl method has been removed. I dont know why ? the use of the WW2 url tag is tedious, it should be re-added.
