If you are using Struts 2 and the Conventions plugin, wuntee's solution doesn't seem to work: setClassForTemplateLoading in turn creates an instance of ClassTemplateLoader which doesn't find files in jars no matter what path prefix is specified.

Instead, create an instance of StrutsClassTemplateLoader. (I do this in a custom sub-class of FreemarkerManager in its getTemplateLoader method.) It takes no parameters, so presumably it just knows how Struts and Conventions do things.
