<h1 class="content-header header-section1" id="pgui_quickstart_merge" itemprop="headline">Merging the template with the data-model</h1>
</div></div><p>As we know, data-model + template = output, and we have a
data-model (<code class="inline-code">root</code>) and a template
(<code class="inline-code">temp</code>), so to get the output we have to merge them.
This is done by the <code class="inline-code">process</code> method of the template.
It takes the data-model root and a <code class="inline-code">Writer</code> as
parameters. It writes the produced output to the
<code class="inline-code">Writer</code>. For the sake of simplicity here I write to
the standard output:</p>
<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-unspecified">Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out);
temp.process(root, out);
out.flush();</pre></div><p>This will print to your terminal the output what you have seen
in the <a href="dgui_quickstart_basics.html#example.first">first example</a> of the
Template Author&#39;s Guide.</p><p>Once you have obtained a <code class="inline-code">Template</code> instance,
you can merge it with different data-models for unlimited times
(<code class="inline-code">Template</code> instances are basically stateless). Also,
the <code class="inline-code">test.ftl</code> file is accessed only while the
<code class="inline-code">Template</code> instance is created, not when you call the
process method.</p><div class="bottom-pagers-wrapper"><div class="pagers bottom"><a class="paging-arrow previous" href="pgui_quickstart_gettemplate.html"><span>Previous</span></a><a class="paging-arrow next" href="pgui_quickstart_all.html"><span>Next</span></a></div></div></div></div> </div>
