The reason why I use a script language is because it should make things simple. I must say that currently Jelly has a lot of functionality, but it does not do a very good job at the simple things.

From: "Christian Sell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Hello,I just wrote a script using the <j:echo message="dada"/> tag, which I assumed was certainly available in core - but alas! Nowhere. What about having that?There's an <echo> tag in the Ant tag library which uses Ant's EchoTask. Or the log tag library uses commons-logging (so you can log to log4j, JDK 1.4 logging or logkit) <log:info> this is some text ${customer.name} </log:info> <log:warn> I can contain other tags if I wish <j:useBean var="b" class="Foo"/> ${b.getSomething()} </log:warn>And what about some tag to enforce availability of variables, for example if a script requires parameters to be set before invoking it?You could use the assertions from the JUnit library... <test:assert test="${foo != null}"/> <test:assert test="${bar != null}">You must define the bar attribute to run this script</test:assert> Though if this doesn't quite match your requirements I'm sure another similar kind of tag could be created.
