My take on that was that the template language allowed more flexibility at run-time and it allowed non-Java people to participate in custom rendering of... uh... things. > It would be faster because all but the more HTML-rich tags would be > generated in pure Java, bringing speed, tool support, and no new > syntax or EL to learn. I wonder how often, in real life, non-programmers actually deal with custom tags or would be the primary hands-on person in changing, say, a Struts2 FreeMarker tag. I do know that the JSP 2.0 custom tags are being used by non-hardcore dev types, but a new system wouldn't preclude their use. I would want to make sure, however, that it was "easy enough" to change the default tags, especially for things like the form fields. I don't know how hard it is to do that with Struts 2 right now; got pulled off my new project for a few weeks :/ If the reality is that this rarely happens, and the classes for the implementation of a tag can be loaded on-the-fly so I don't have to go through a delay to see changes during development, then I really like your proposal. > Points 2 and 3 are what make this approach interesting. +1 Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
