> Hello Tomcat developers and advanced users!
>
> I have following question:
>
> I would like to use Jasper engine for template processing. I use
> Tomcat with JSPs and its good, but I would like to alter Jasper usage
> this way:
>
> An JSP page is compiled into a Java source where the user's JSP
> page extends the class HttpJspBase and overrides several methods
> notably _jspService().
>
> I want to use Jasper for more generic task. Template processing
> independent on Servlets and HTTP. Imagine following interface:
>
> public interface Template {
> void renderTemplate(Writer out) throws java.io.IOException;
> }
>
> I want to alter Jasper to process files with JSP-like syntax (of
> course with other intrinsic variables accessible inside the
> renderTemplate() method) and generate Java source code implementing
> the Template interface and than compile the source code using Java
> compiler into executable classes. Then load and run generated classes
> as they have been written manually.
>
> So I ask:
> 1) is it possible or is Jasper tightly coupled with HTTP and Servlet
> API?
> 2) if it is possible, how to do that? (which classes can be re-used,
> which interfaces and classes have to be re-implemented
> 3) how much time it can take (1 day, 3 days, a week, two weeks, ...)

> Thanks for any comments and suggestions.
