All, I'm an S1 user and a member of the Velocity team. I recently posted a message to the velocity-dev list regarding the ugly syntax required by the S2 tag Velocity implementation.
For reference: http://www.nabble.com/Named-macro-parameters-td19459070.html The gist of the question was: can Velocity support a better syntax so that stringified "name=value" parameter pairs didn't have to be re-parsed for every run-through of the template. After a bit of back-and-forth Nathan Bubna showed that an on-the-fly Map can be used to make the syntax look similar to the JSP/fm implementations, but does not require the string parsing of each macro parameter. Something like this: #sform({'action' : 'updatePerson' }) #stextfield({'label' : 'First name', 'name' : 'firstName'}) #ssubmit({'value' = 'Update'}) #end (Written to match the examples on this page: http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.2/docs/velocity-tags.html) I wonder if there's any interest in supporting this type of Velocity integration in order to avoid parsing the name/value strings that arise from this syntax: #sform ("action=updatePerson") #stextfield ("label=First name" "name=firstName") #ssubmit ("value=Update") #end Just a thought. Thanks, -chris
