/**
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 *
 * Renders an custom UI widget using the specified templates. Additional objects can be passed in to the template
 * using the param tags.<p/>
 *
 * <b>Freemarker:</b><p/>
 * Objects provided can be retrieve from within the template via $parameters._paramname_.<p/>
 *
 * <b>Jsp:</b><p/>
 * Objects provided can be retrieve from within the template via <s:property value="%{parameters._paramname_}" /><p/>
 *
 *
 * In the bottom JSP and Velocity samples, two parameters are being passed in to the component. From within the
 * component, they can be accessed as:- <p/>
 *
 * <b>Freemarker:</b><p/>
 * $parameters.get('key1') and $parameters.get('key2') or $parameters.key1 and $parameters.key2<p/>
 *
 * <b>Jsp:</b><p/>
 * <s:property value="%{parameters.key1}" /> and <s:property value="%{'parameters.key2'}" /> or
 * <s:property value="%{parameters.get('key1')}" /> and <s:property value="%{parameters.get('key2')}" /><p/>
 *
 * Currently, your custom UI components can be written in Velocity, JSP, or Freemarker, and the correct rendering
 * engine will be found based on file extension.<p/>
 *
 * <b>Remember:</b> the value params will always be resolved against the ValueStack so if you mean to pass a
 * string literal to your component, make sure to wrap it in quotes i.e. value="'value1'" otherwise, the the value
 * stack will search for an Object on the stack with a method of getValue1(). (now that i've written this, i'm not
 * entirely sure this is the case. i should verify this manana)<p/>

 * <p/> <b>Examples</b>
 *
 * <pre>
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: example -->
 * JSP
 *     <s:component template="/my/custom/component.vm"/>
 *
 *       or
 *
 *     <s:component template="/my/custom/component.vm">
 *       <s:param name="key1" value="value1"/>
 *       <s:param name="key2" value="value2"/>
 *     </s:component>
 *
 * Velocity
 *     #s-component( "template=/my/custom/component.vm" )
 *
 *       or
 *
 *     #s-component( "template=/my/custom/component.vm" )
 *       #s-param( "name=key1" "value=value1" )
 *       #s-param( "name=key2" "value=value2" )
 *     #end
 *
 * Freemarker
 *    <@s..component template="/my/custom/component.ftl" />
 *
 *      or
 *
 *    <@s..component template="/my/custom/component.ftl">
 *       <@s..param name="key1" value="%{'value1'}" />
 *       <@s..param name="key2" value="%{'value2'}" />
 *    </@s..component>
 *
 * <!-- END SNIPPET: example -->
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * <b>NOTE:</b>
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: note -->
 *
 * If Jsp is used as the template, the jsp template itself must lie within the
 * webapp itself and not the classpath. Unlike Freemarker or Velocity, JSP template
 * could not be picked up from the classpath.
 *
