Hi Robert, Thank you for your excellent care. This is open source at it's best.
The way I see it is that Jelly is a good way to build actions. Actions you can then invoke many ways (eg. with a tag from jsp page, from command line ...) Thus jelly works as a wrapper for all kinds of tools, scripting languege and whatever you can come up with. And the fact that you are writing jsp tags triggering jelly tags points to the direction that jsp is better when embedding dynamic features to html pages. Thank you for your offer for getting a pre-release of your jsp tags. But the issue I have is using Jelly from already existing jsp tags. Maybe you could just point me to the place where they are located once you publish them. - rami >-----Original Message----- >From: Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 12:53 AM >To: Jakarta Commons Developers List >Subject: Re: [Jelly] Converting JSP taglib to Jelly taglib > > >If you have messy HTML that would probably be the case.
