Hi Guys,
I am simply responding because we have been using JXP for about 7 months
now..
We are currently using JXP for our web component templates. It has worked out
fairly well. We actually started out using FreeMarker, but did not like the
idea of learning a new syntax just for simple templating. Sure... its not
that big of a deal, but what is the value add of learning additional syntax to
do something you could do in Java (even easier).
We also felt that JXP was easier to work with front to back. We were up and
running in a couple of hours. Its nice to have the ability to write Java code
in your templates. We never have much, but for the small sections that need
it, it comes in handy.
It would be great to see some others take interest in the project. I feel the
over all benefits of having a popular and well supported template engine that
has a JSP like syntax is a no-brainer.
Some key reasons:
- You get mainstream tool support for free.
- You get a template engine with a familiar syntax
- It makes for easy migration of JSP artifacts to templates (which are no
longer bound to a JSP/Servlet container).
Just some 3rd party thoughts.....
Cheers,
