ok, I found a workaround on this page: http://freemarker.org/docs/dgui_misc_userdefdir.html This example: | <#macro test foo>${foo} (<#nested>) ${foo}</#macro> | <@test foo="A"><@test foo="B"><@test foo="C"/></@test></@test> I call it workaround till I have to template my full tree structure in the template. Fortunatley I have "only" 9 tree-levels, so it looks not nice but it works ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4224877#...
