Everyone,
Thanks for the suggestions... looks like I am simply going to use a
simple string replacement templating class we wrote a while back... as
the effort to integrate a Templating framework just for simple out of
web container HTML e-mails is not worth it IMHO.
Much Appreciated!

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.

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?
Much Appreciated!
