Hello folks.
Still on the path of getting to know JSP and Orion, and was wondering how
(hopefully without using cocoon) can I get to the point of serving dynamic
JSP files.
What I'm tying to do is serve up templates which are stored in the DB. The
templates contain html which forms the look and feel of a site, and the
different features available in a certain section of the site.
These Templates also return the content for the site, the content itself
may or may not contain more dynamic data.
Ultimately those templates and content would contain some JSP code or XML
code which gets changed based on the user, location, template, content, the
content type etc...
I'm coming from a Cold Fusion / Tango environment, and I can see that
things are a little different with JSP, and the rules change
dramatically. it's pretty easy to do this stuff in those environments. It
doesn't seem as obvious in JSP since the pages are pre compiled and any JSP
code which might exists in the Templates or content will be ignored. What
I need to do is parse that code, or write something which will allow me to
parse that code.
I don't mind so much putting in the coding time, but I am concerned about
maintaining top serving speed, and still allow me the freedom of being as
dynamic as my clients want to be.
So with that in mind, I was wondering if Orion had any internal facilities
to support some kind of dynamic JSP pages. If not what do you folks
recommend to use for such applications?
Thanks much in advance, and sorry if this subject has already come up before.
