title: How to display the current date & time in the Freemarker template section of smooks?
body: <p>I am able to display the contents of my incoming XML file using smooks in the freemarker template, but I want to add Current Date &amp; time of my local system to identify the execution of my program.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ftl:freemarker applyOnElement="CreditCard"&gt;
      &lt;ftl:template&gt;&lt;!--        &lt;BalanceInquiryRequest&gt;
          &lt;TransactionId&gt;${BalanceInquiryRequest.TransactionId}&lt;/&lt;TransactionId&gt;
          &lt;ConfigurationId&gt;${BalanceInquiryRequest.ConfigurationId}&lt;/ConfigurationId&gt;
          &lt;CardNumberr&gt;${.vars["GiftCard"].CardNumber}&lt;/CardNumberr&gt;
          &lt;ExpirationDate&gt;${.vars["GiftCard"].ExpirationDate}&lt;/ExpirationDate&gt;
          &lt;SecurityCode&gt;${.vars["GiftCard"].SecurityCode}&lt;/SecurityCode&gt;
         *****************************
  Here I want to display the current Date &amp; time 
      &lt;/BalanceInquiryRequest&gt;
      --&gt;&lt;/ftl:template&gt;
  &lt;/ftl:freemarker&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can you tell me how can I add current date &amp; time in the XML without having an entry in the incoming XML.</p>
