Has anyone done a detailed performance comparison between the jsp and
velocity worlds?  While I use jsp's in the business world, I've stuck
with velocity templates in the jetspeed world because of their relative
simplicity.  But I'm concerned that I'm paying a noticeable performance
penalty for that decision. Anyone have any numbers to back this up?

Are both the jsp and jetspeed templates kept in sync?  I have been
reading in both the documentation and in a couple of posts that velocity
is the default / preferred method of developing or working with the
templates.  I have seen some things such as the browser title, not being
updated correctly in the jsp templates where the velocity ones seems to
be working correctly.  I just wanted to know if others have been steered
away from using the jsp side of things, because the velocity side is
just kept up to date more or even because one is supported better.

 

Any thoughts?

I'll chime in and say "use Velocity!" as well.  It's quick and easy to learn and use; 
I highly recommend it over JSP.  The one caveat is it does not pretty-print anything 
when it renders a template, if that's a concern.

I don't know JSP too well, and I learned Velocity when I started using
Jetspeed, but I have really fallen in love with Velocity. It's the only

Re: jsp vs. velocity

2004-02-19 Thread Archana Turaga
I'm using JSPs and have got around most of the issues. It really depends on how much 
you want to leverage in terms of the look and feel.  The biggest issue i have had till 
date is having a href link in a JSP portlet which redirects to another jsp page. I can 
make it work by using certain JSP tags but i have a requirement where the page needs 
to be opened within the same portlet pane. In velocity there is a jslink tag with 
getPaneByNamewhich does this effortlessly but in JSP there is no equivalent...i 
have been struggling with this for sometime...hopefully i can come up with a 
workaround.

You will still have to know some velocity templating language...because most of the 
rendering screens are vm screens or if you have the time convert them into jsp pages.

Other than that issue (i have an idea as to a work around...:-)) have stated above...i 
think you cans stick with using JSP portlets without any problem. Keep checking the 
bug database..there maybe updates related to JSPs that you maybe interested in.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Archana

JSP templates should be in synch with Velocity in respect to navigations,
layouts and most screens (login, confirm, register, change password, edit
user, etc). Other templates are a matter of developer's personal preference.
If you know of any issues with JSP navigations, screens and layouts, please
log them into Bugzilla.

RE: JSP vs Velocity

2003-01-31 Thread Pierre Henry
Mark,

First, thanks for looking at these problems. I managed to have working forms
with action events. The only 'real' problem left is that forms only work
with the GET method using Mozilla browser (I only tried with JSP's).
I analized the request with ethereal, and the fact is that actually Mozilla
didn't post any data, only the headers were present in the request !
So that's definitely a browser issue, nothing to do with Jetspeed :)

The "tricky behaviour" you are describing sounds like a browser issue unless
you tried this with Velocity and it worked correctly. Let me know.

The example in tutorial is misleading because it uses hidden "action" input
field - I'll try to have it corrected. The correct method is to associate
JspPortlet with its action via registry.

My best advice would be to look closely at the two JspPortlet examples:
StockQuotes and JetspeedQuestionnaire (these can only be found in the CVS
head, I believe). Both of these use action events and illustrate how to use
forms plus they work :) If these don't cover something you're trying to do,
let me know and I'll try to provide more examples.

Yes, with JspPortlet, you would use request attributes which is equivalent

Re: JSP vs Velocity

I have one point to share.
I had a prototype created using 1.4a and trying to port to 1.4b3, but went 
through slightly tough time
in porting the code to 1.4b3 as I had done some good amount of 
customization changes to jetspeed 1.4a templates.

The velocity templates has a lot of macros coded in it and any changes to 
the templates for customization
heavily affects the upgrade to new version.  wondering what is the general 
opinion on this.

Another one , wondering how the content management tools will deal with 
Velocity templates now as it looks
not a clean tag oriented template.

Lastly we observed the velocity templates are consuming more time in some 
areas while rending the page.

Lucky guy! Write a book about it and share your knowledge - struts books 
we have enough!
BTW, since your mail ends with apache.org - how much and how long are you 
involved in
jetspeed / turbine? I am since 4 days and don` t think jetspeed is one of 
the
"vanilla" frameworks to understand in a few days.

Re: JSP vs Velocity

2003-01-29 Thread Andrew C. Oliver
I suggest you will find that Velocity performs better in Jetspeed. 
Furthermore, you'll find that JSP's integration is largely a kludge.  I 
would suggest that JSP is not appropriate for outputting binary files.

Which do you prefer? Any serious JetSpeed Velocity development and deployment?

How is the popularity of JetSpeed?
