I did not quite get that. Do you mean CSS stylesheet? I started reading the WebWork book, but then put it aside, shame on me. So I am not versed in WebWork yet. Anyway, CSS support is not a problem in SAF1 tags either. > The UI tags are > also value-stack aware, allowing expressions that are not supported by > standard JSTL. I see. Considering that ValueStack is just a tree-like object containing beans, I would prefer a very small set of tags to put/remove ValueStack to a certain scope, and then access its properties using standard JSTL expressions, if this is possible. I thought that OGNL expressions are evaluated on a whole page like JSP2.0 expressions, not within specific tags only. I guess I was wrong. Would be great if OGNL expressions could be used anywhere on a page, so I had to use as few WW-specific tags as possible. > The UI tags look and feel like ordinary JSP > tags, under the covers, the markups is being created with FreeMarker > templates. (See same reference.) I hope that plain JSP is still an option. I will try to find time to finish the book ;-) Thanks for the heads up.
