Does spring.ftl (freemarker bindings) support nested paths? How?

Question

How can I write the freemarker templates like this:

<#import "spring.ftl" as s>

<@s.form path="object" action="/new.do" method="POST">
    <@s.formInput "name"/> <!-- I want this resolved as "object.name" -->
    <!--
        100s of other properties...
      -->
</@s.form>

instead of this:

<#import "spring.ftl" as s>

<form action="/new.do" method="POST">
    <@s.formInput "object.name"/>
    <!--
        100s of other properties...
      -->
</form>

Answer 1

You can bind the object like this:

<@s.bind "object"/>

Then you can use your first example

<@s.formInput "name"/>
