Ahh... well. The 1.5 codebase is basically the wrong place to try and do it (too much 'wasted' effort). What I had been hoping / intending to do with DSpace 2.0 is turn 'dspace-jspui-api' into 'dspace-servlet-api', and rip out the JSPManager in favour of a more generic ViewManager. Then people can build different WAR types off of that with different view technologies - JSP 2.0, Velocity, Freemarker, etc. (And probably implement a JSP 2.0 based interface, generating very minimal XHTML + CSS). > Interestingly this is exactly what JSTL/JSP 2.0 meant to alleviate, a > lot of custom JSP tag-libraries became obsolete with the creation of > JSTL. Yes, and custom tags can also be implemented in .tag/.tagx files, that are structured like jsp/jpsx, for reusable components that do generate XHTML. G This email has been scanned by Postini.
