I recently purchased the Book "Programming Google Glass - The Mirror API" By Eric Redmond and in the 2nd chapter we install Freemarker GRE .jar file into the project. There is a part when we have to create a method that renders a template file. I keep getting an error when trying to make a Configuration.
package com.leetinsider.leetfoodfinder;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.security.auth.login.Configuration;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Template;
public class LeetFoodFinder {
public static String getRandomCuisine()
{
String[] lunchOptions = {
"American", "Chineese", "French", "Italian", "Japenese", "Thai"
};
int choice = new Random().nextInt(lunchOptions.length);
return lunchOptions[choice];
}
public static String render(ServletContext ctx, String template, Map<String, Object> data)
throws IOException, ServletException{
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.setServletContextForTemplateLoading(ctx, "WEB-INF/views");
config.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
Template ftl = config.getTemplate(template);
try{
//use the data to render the template to the servlet output
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
ftl.process(data, writer);
return writer.toString();
}
catch (TemplateException e){
throw new ServletException("Problem while processing template", e);
}
}
}
It tells me that Configuration() cannot be instaniated. Is there an import that I am missing? I put the freemarker-gae2.3.2.0.jar file in the war/WEB-INF/lib directory but am not sure if there is something else I am missing.
Trying to follow along with the book but this is holding me back :/
If you look at your import statement, they're referring to non freemarker classes of the same name.
Hope that helps.
