Not that I know of. We use XML Spy here for our XML/XSLT/XSP work. I've
been following the trend that the logicsheets that are shipped with C2 use,
which is to move most of the java code into a class module with static
methods, and just put simple function calls in the logicsheet. That way
you can write your class module in your favorite java IDE with all the
bells and whistles, and you have minimized the amount of java code in your
logicsheet.
If you find that you do have an overwhelming need to put a decent amount of
java code directly into the logicsheet, maybe JBuilder 5 has support for
that. I know that they do ship a version of C1 with the program, and maybe
it had support for XSP. As a last resort you could always use a JSP editor,
and use the JSP syntax for editing, and then change the JSP code-marker
tags to the XSP tags when you save the file. I think that'd be a PITA though.
As a last resort, if you want to invest a small amount of time into making
a solution for yourself, would be to check out the "Multiple Major Modes"
package for Emacs (http://mmm-mode.sourceforge.net/). I'm sure Emacs has
good support for Java code and XML (syntax highlighting for sure, but I'm
uncertain about code insight-type features), and using the MMM package you
can have multiple modes active in a single buffer. It was original designed
for use with the HTML::Mason perl package, which uses markers like <%perl>
and </%perl> to delimit code sections. I'm sure you could modify it to
check on <xsp:logic> and <xsp:expr>. With about 30m of work I was able to
get it to work decently with XPathScript, a perl-and-XML language for the
AxKit project.
Hope this helps :)
