What hype? I don't follow here... Velocity is just a template language, plain, simple and relatively small. It's "greatness" comes from the fact that you cannot do things in it, not from that fact that you can. Other template languages might be as good or better, wouldn't know, but given that Velocity is a Jakarta project, it seemed like a reasonable suggestion to me. And it certainly does the job for me. I don't see why would sharing a good experience with someone qualify as hype. But all that is actually beside the point. The point is that you don't want your web designers to touch Java code, ever. Making web pages programs, with access into depths of you JVM, is what the initial problem with JSP's actually is. > Please no flames from the velocity disiples as I will not respond. Why do you think anyone from Velocity crowd would flame you? I found most users and developers to be helpful and constructive. They certainly helped me switch from JSP's in no time at all.
