Spring boot freemarker

Question

I get this exception when I try to import JspTaglibs in a spring boot application.

freemarker.template.TemplateModelException: No mapping defined for http://www.springframework.org/tags/form

Hear is part of my ftl file, when I try to import it.

<#import "/spring.ftl" as spring/>
<#assign form=JspTaglibs["http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"] />

Get this problem only when starting the application as a spring boot app, works if deployed on standalone tomcat with a war file.

Any ideas ?

Answer 1

You need to add the code below to give templates path.

@Configuration
public class EmailConfiguration {

    @Bean(name ="freemarkerConfig") 
    public FreeMarkerConfigurer getFreemarkerConfig() {
           FreeMarkerConfigurer configurer = new FreeMarkerConfigurer();
           configurer.setTemplateLoaderPath("**classpath:mail**/");
           Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
           map.put("xml_escape", new XmlEscape());
           configurer.setFreemarkerVariables(map);
      return configurer;
    }
}
