----------------------------------
is this still an issue, if not please close it (or let me close it)
> [web] Raw "template"
> --------------------
>
> Key: LABS-306
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LABS-306
> Project: Labs
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Magma
> Affects Versions: Current
> Reporter: Simone Gianni
> Assignee: Simone Gianni
> Fix For: Future
>
>
> Actually the Dispatch servlet, which serves content in Magma, operates in two
> distinct ways :
> - If result is a Producer, stream it to output. This is the case for
> resources.
> - If result is an HtmlProducer, pass it to a template, which will take care
> of aggregating stuff around it and use an URLRewritingStream for proper URL
> rewriting.
> This is nice, but limitating. There are situations where :
> - We want to serve an html fragment having the advantage of URL rewriting,
> but not having a template around.
> - We want to use a different template, and force it no matter what
> - We want to use a different template and eventually different post
> processing.
> A use case for the first situation is quite simple : an html frameset for
> example, there must be URL rewriting but no template around it. Another one,
> serving an HTML fragment as the result on an AJAX call, we want the fragment
> as it would appear inside the template, but without all the template around.
> For the second situation, a good use case is a print template. There are
> already a number of methods to set the template, using the Templatable
> interface, but the innermost setting takes precedence over the outmost, whle
> in this case the opposite should happen.
> The third situation is for advanced stuff, like HTML to PDF generation
> (perfectly possible with XSLT translating to XSL-FO, or using CSS 3 and a
> postprocessor) or again more complex Ajax interactions.
