I'd like to hear people sharing their experience with java-based webapps and using templates that are not JSP or anything in the JSTL-Velocity-Freemarker world.
We're running a few webapps (some spring-based, but not all of them) and from the front-end room we only hear cursing and crying, so to speak. These guys are very good html/css/js developers and had enough of jsp/jstl. We've been trying to de-couple a little bit and started experimenting with other stuff. I personally tried scalate <http://scalate.fusesource.org> and liked it but I'd like to hear more from anybody who's using these things fulltime. Handlebars, Mustache, Angular... you name it. How do they integrate with a java webapp? Also, since we deploy our war on glassfish, how could we set it up so that front-end changes WON'T need re-deploy? ps: Scalate guys suggest to ask this question beforehand: Who edits the templates?<http://scalate.fusesource.org/which.html#Who_edits_the_templates_> Maybe it's the right question to ask. pps: no, we're not moving to Play or Scala or Rails -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
