Extensions to Spring’s FreeMarker macro’s (spring.ftl)

Posted on by

Spring’s FreeMarker macro’s are pretty useful, but there are a couple of things I need from the showErrors macro that simply aren’t there:

  1. Show errors without a HTML tag around them – if you don’t specify a classOrStyle, the showErrors macro will wrap your error message in a <b> tag. If you do, it’ll wrap it in a <span> (understandably)
  2. Pick the tag that surrounds each message – As explained in the first point, you can see we only get the choice of <b> or <span>. What if I wanted to use an <li>? …use the separator? – no good, because unless I write an <#if> statement to check the number of error messages before I call showErrors I’ll end up with redundant <ul>/<ol> and <li>’s in my markup if there aren’t any errors:
    e.g. <ul><li><@spring.showErrors “</li><li>”/></li></ul>
    Which leads me nicely onto the next point:
  3. Show errors in an ordered/unordered list, automatically detecting zero messages and not outputting markup if this is the case
  4. Show errors for multiple bind paths – Spring’s showErrors only shows errors for the currently bound field. However I’ve found that I’ve needed to show errors for 2 or more fields together. This is particularly true of a DOB field where the day/month and year are separate <select>’s
  5. Finally, show errors for multiple bind paths, in an unordered/ordered list

You can download my Spring extensions here: springx.ftl. Inevitably I’ll find more bits and pieces to add and will update them accordingly.

  15. Let me share the dirty truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They’re like band-aid salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are special. It all started back in the early 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—aided install their family’s septic system alongside a weathered pro. Picture this: three pre-teens buried in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil absorption affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. “We never just dig ditches,” Art explained to me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. “We learned how earth whispers mysteries. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That’s Mother Nature screaming ‘high water table.’”
