I am familiar with velocity actually. What I wanna do is create a standard for html-form components on our site. Ex: An input field for text always has the same css class, a label and a div-wrapper. Like this:
<div> <label for="email" class="required">Your email</label> <input type="text" name="email" class="our_class"/> </div> I recently worked in PHP where there was an approach similar to ECS, so to use ECS seemed natural. But you say templates are better these days? I suppose velocity macors would be a bit simpler. I'll try and see what suits me the best. /Ludwig -----Original Message----- From: David Tonhofer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: den 14 november 2009 22:37 To: ECS Users List Subject: Re: Is ecs used? AFAIK, it's an old approach that has met its maker. It used it back in 2004 or so but only briefly. These days I would look at template engines like Apache Velocity or similar.
