Description

Renders an custom UI widget using the specified templates. Additional objects can be passed in to the template using the param tags.

Freemarker:

Objects provided can be retrieve from within the template via $parameters.paramname.

Jsp:

Objects provided can be retrieve from within the template via <s:property value="%{parameters.paramname}" />

In the bottom JSP and Velocity samples, two parameters are being passed in to the component. From within the component, they can be accessed as:-

Freemarker:

$parameters.get('key1') and $parameters.get('key2') or $parameters.key1 and $parameters.key2

Jsp:

<s:property value="%{parameters.key1}" /> and <s:property value="%{'parameters.key2'}" /> or <s:property value="%{parameters.get('key1')}" /> and <s:property value="%{parameters.get('key2')}" />

Currently, your custom UI components can be written in Velocity, JSP, or Freemarker, and the correct rendering engine will be found based on file extension.

Remember: the value params will always be resolved against the ValueStack so if you mean to pass a string literal to your component, make sure to wrap it in quotes i.e. value="'value1'" otherwise, the the value stack will search for an Object on the stack with a method of getValue1(). (now that i've written this, i'm not entirely sure this is the case. i should verify this manana)
