I've just uploaded a new release of JWAA to http://virtualschool.edu/jwaa. The main new feature is the ability to maintain java and html in separate files and combine them at pre-compile time rather than at runtime as template languages like Velocity does. The result is an alternative to the run-time intensive approaches taken by both JSP and Velocity that imposes no run-time overhead and that features compile-time type checking for everything: between the java code and html templates, properties settings, JDBC database queries, and request parameters. See the documentation at the above address for details. The template language support was added very quickly without the benefit of a careful design approach as a feasibility demonstration. But it has worked out well enough that I'm interested in developing a new version that supports the Velocity template language within a completely compile-time approach. This would involve extracting Velocity's parsing code and changing it to emit Java statements to be processed at compile time instead of maintaining the abstract syntax tree to be interpreted at runtime as now. Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you'd be interested in helping with this project, or with comments about the desirability of a completely compile-time type-checked solution in your environment. -- --- For industrial age goods there were checks and credit cards.
