That is an eternal question, right.
Which engine to use for simple templates? Personally, I settled upon
http://jxp.sourceforge.net, its simple enough and fast enough and gives
more power than just regex and very intuitive. Just my 2 pennies. Nikolaos Giannopoulos wrote: Stripes and Stripernate in conjunction with Spring, JPA, Hibernate, Lucene, etc... IS EVERYTHING its billed to be IMO! Moreover, I initially considered a more advanced templating technology (FreeMarker, Velocity, etc...) but once again as the Stripes team envisioned the simplicity of JSPs and the excellent Stripes tag support (layouts, forms, etc...) for them are actually quite powerful and quite sufficient.HOWEVER... one aspect of our system is to generate HTML E-mails and for that it is important to point out that the Task Server processes that will generate the e-mails will be in the Services layer and will not sit within a web container (i.e. they will be simple Java Processes processing against the DB w/o UI). Here are some options I am tossing around: 1) Forget about Java Web Templating and simply do variable substitution on an HTML template. Right now this is my top choice. 2) Use the built-in web container in Java 6 to process the JSPs, inject a HTTP Request and Capture the HTTP Response. This feels like a BIG kludge not to mention a lot of effort for very little gain... . Beyond getting into a Holy War on what Templating technology is better suited to the task I am curious what others have done OR what would anyone suggest if they didn't have a Templating technology beyond JSP?
