Re: [OS-webwork] RE: JSP tags in velocity

[Cameron Braid]

I used to use velocity... We switched to Freemarker because we find it better.  Since it supports any JSP tag library out of the box it makes migration from JSP easier. We find freemarker as fast as velocity (not that I have any direct statistics) ant more flexible. Cameron Fred Lamuette wrote: Yes, it's the same than this at http://displaytag.sourceforge.net. I use Velocity as template engine, but I'm wondering if Freemark is not a best alternative. Does someone have feedbacks or know the differences ? Thank you.

I havn't used DisplayTag before because I have written my own freemarker macro for displaying tabulated data within webwork, that suits my purposes better. It should be as simple as adding the taglib to the freemarker view using something like <#assign display=JspTaglibs["/WEB-INF/displayTag.tld"]> then you can just use the tage like a macro : just insert @ before the namespace, and replace the : with a . <display:table name="someList"> <display:column property="mail"/> <display:column property="total"/> </display:table> becomes : <@display.table name="someList"> <@display.column property="mail"/> <@display.column property="total"/> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cameron Fred Lamuette wrote: Have you any examples with DisplayTag ?

Since supporting any arbitrary tag isn't the goal of WebWork (it's a nice side effect, but it's not a high priority at all), I think you'd be better off in terms of functionality and performance if you just added velocity hooks in to your favorite JSP tags like DisplayTag. FYI FreeMarker has integrated support for JSP taglibs.
