I mainly want to know if the are other XML friendly templating languages out there. I have XSL that writes out to JSP too. If I write the source XML generically enough, I can generate a different versions of the webapp in JSP and Velocity (or whatever). I have used both Tomcat and Resin, both are buggy with the XML syntax, though using the Expression Language is fine. Since using the XML syntax is buggy you have to write XSL that uses xsl:text/@disable-output-escaping='yes' which kind of [expletive deleted]. I write the source XML that contains the JSP code in the XML syntax and transform out to the old syntax. The benefit here is during authoring time I can remove/replace the code so the user sees a clean page which is not running as a JSP in a 'preview'. Another thing with JSP is you can access all of java pretty easily. I think Velocity offers a cleaner separation of concerns. > > I just about died when a group where I work wanted us to write DVSL > templates: > > http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/dvsl/users-guide.html yea, I don't see the point of dvsl > > ----------->Nathan > best, -Rob p.s. anybody wanna buy a loft in San Francisco (moving to New Hampshire). pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iva/sets/195329/
