The tutorial says the dexios templates are compiled. I didn't read much
further than that. If it's the compilation you're worried about, jsp is
supposed to do the compilation only once for each page (until the a page
is modified). I don't think this would take long.
-A
[from the tutorial]
A servlet or other Java object can construct an object of class Template
on initialization; the Template object --compiles-- the template into an
efficient, reusable form. --Compiled-- templates respond almost as fast as
static HTML pages. When processing a request, the servlet passes the
Template a tree of data objects; the Template inserts the data from these
objects into the appropriate places in the HTML, and sends the
finished HTML page to the servlet's output stream. You can use the
package to display data from your existing data objects, by writing thin
adapter classes.
