Aslak, Having just written a book chapter on WebWork views, I'm quite au fait with this situation! :)
The JSP views _are_ more advanced at the moment, but that's only because none of the core developers has any Velocity projects or much Velocity experience. There is no reason (from looking at Velocity macros and directives), Velocity couldn't take advantage of the stack and the EL - it just hasn't been written yet AFAIK. The form tags are one thing that could be greatly improved with the velocity support (they are awesome for JSP) - I believe a few people may have hacked up their own, but AFAIK they have not been contributed back yet? Are you a velocity guru? :) Cheers, Mike On 10/12/02 3:59 AM, "Aslak Hellesøy" ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) penned the words: > Hi! > > I'm about to start a new project, and we have decided to use WebWork.
