Hi Mat, I started with Java web development on GAE in January. I did some research on template frameworks because I came from the PHP-world. I wanted a templating engine without importing a large framework, without learning a complete new language, and with some good documentation. My choice became Freemarker.
Because they're using some classes that are on the App Engine's blacklist, they've created a GAE friendly jar. The fun part of Freemarker is that you can pass any POJO class to your template and print/use your class variables and methods. It has some handy formatters (show the GMT date in any Timezone of your choice), print numbers with 1... n decimals,... And you can include other templates from a template. You can write the result to HttpServletResponse.getWriter() or save it in a StringBuffer and do whatever you want with it. To me, it's fast.. but I haven't compared the speed against other engines. The blog: http://freemarker.blogspot.com/ The documentation: http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html And the homepage where you can download the GAE-version! http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/index.html Good luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
