Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits web page designers to use
simple yet powerful
template language to reference objects defined in Java code. Web
designers can work in parallel with
Java programmers to develop web sites according to the
Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning
that web page designers can focus solely on creating a site that
looks good, and programmers can focus
solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity separates Java code from
the web pages, making the web site
more maintainable over the long run and providing a viable
alternative to Java Server Pages (JSPs) or
PHP.

So is which is it?
Is "velocity" an alternative to JSP or not?
Is "velocity" an compatible with JSP or not?
What you said about "Tapestry" could apply to "Velocity" as well, right?

Subject: Re: Which is the best framework WebMacro, Struts, or Tapestry?
WebMacro is not only a MVC framework, but also a template language, so it's
not compatible with JSP. There is a new project called Velocity which is
basically a complete rewrite of WebMacro - look at
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/index.html.
Struts is a really good framework designed on top of servlets and JSPs. It
is a reference implementation of the "Model 2" architecture described in the
J2EE blueprints document. This would definitely be my recommendation.
I don't know much about Tapestry, but considering that the front page says
that it is an alternative to JSP, I wouldn't hope in using this with JSPs.
