Lot of people are takling about WebMacro and Turbine. Does anyone have
few minutes to explain the product and also the difference compared with
JSP?
Thanks!

Yes, it is a fairly sensible approach to take. The problem with using ECS
for ALL of your pages is that it becomes impossible to modify the web page
without modifying code. You also nix out the ability for designers to edit
the pages. It is MUCH better to abstract things out MVC style with something
like WebMacro and Turbine (as Chris already stated). I still highly suggest
that you still continue to use ECS where it makes sense such as class like
this one:
<http://www.working-dogs.com/turbine/cvsweb/index.cgi/turbine/src/java/org/a
pache/turbine/util/webmacro/SelectorBox.java?rev=1.6&content-type=text/x-cvs
web-markup>
I highly suggest that you take a look at the WebMacro integration in Turbine
to do what you want. If you decide to do something on your own, chances are
that you will end up re-doing what we have already done in Turbine since it
was built based on the experience of past failures and successes.
good luck.
