Hey all, I finished a rough cut conversion of the Latka tags and validators to Jelly. The Jelly tags have syntax identical to the previous Latka tags. I think it will be pretty easy to emulate Latka variables inside the Jelly expression language (JEXL). With a patch I made to Jelly this week, I think even the lack of a namespace declaration in existing scripts will not be a problem.
I believe that the functionality of the Jelly tags is actually a complete superset of the previous implementation. The command line interface should be able to function unchanged if converted to a Jelly backend, but the new tags will make it much easier to run Latka inside applications like Ant and JUnit. I propose that we make Jelly one of Latka's dependencies, so that we can remove the XML handlers and processors that support the previous tags. In my view, the Jelly implementation is much cleaner and will render the old tags unnecessary. - Morgan ===== Morgan Delagrange http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs http://jakarta.apache.org/commons http://axion.tigris.org http://jakarta.apache.org/watchdog __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
