There are two ways to get computed values into a freemarker response template

Either directly through code or passing in a value in the "model" object.

person.properties.userName is a call to the "person" object of Alfresco Script (See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.0_JavaScript_API#Root_Scope_Objects)

To find the properties defined for a person you look in the contentModel.xml file which is where the definition is. To answer your specific question there is a lastName property so its person.properties.lastName.

toWho is an example of passing in an object in the model which is then displayed by the template.
model.toWho = (args.to != null) ? args.to : person.properties.userName;

Thanks mrogers,
Thanks a lot.
More useful if you mentioned this in wiki itself.

Glad to help.

But if you see something wrong or missing with the wiki then please go ahead and fix it rather than commenting here. Then its fixed for the next person. That's how the community documentation will get better.
