Hi All.

Freemarker layout example.

Example from (http://richardbarabe.wordpress.com/2009/03/19/freemarker-a-brief-example/)

<#macro myLayout title="FreeMarker example">
  <html> <head>
            <title> ${title} </title>
            <#include "header.ftl"/>
        </head>
    <body>
          <div class="menus">
            <#include "menu.ftl"/>
          </div>
          <div class="body">
            <#nested/>
          </div>
          <div class="footer">
            <#include "footer.ftl"/>
          </div>
    </body>
  </html>
</#macro>

<#import "layout/defaultLayout.ftl" as layout>
<@layout.myLayout "Home page">
  <div><h1>Hello Freemarker</h1></div>
</@layout.myLayout>

Is the above approach and using  Apache tiles with freemarker have same behavior in page rendering process.

If there are any differences in page rendering logic . Please help me to understand the differences and which one is better approach.

Thanks a lot.
