Method Detail

merge

String merge(String templateName,
           Map<String,?> dataObjects)
             throws Exception

Merge a group of data objects into a template, specified by name.

Parameters:

templateName - name of an object (e.g. file) which contains the template to be filled

Returns:

Merged data

Throws:

MergeException - if the merge fails for any reason (e.g. IOException reading a file). Implementations should probably instead throw RuntimeExceptions for cases which are caused by coding bugs, such as specifying a particular template but failing to provide a data object required by that template.
