Now, If someone might invest the time to get us on JSP 2.0 rather than
this antiquated JSP 1.x version we are using, then we could upgrade
the JSLT libraries as well and use EL syntax to reference things
rather than JSP%=% tags. then it would look much cleaner to you.
JSP has come a long way since these JSP's were written, I can't
believe the community hasn't pushed to get this more updated, it
probably make customization of the JSPUI significantly easier and
allow the use of editors/services/tools that work better with the 2.0
syntax... I.E. Dreamweaver etc.
Ahh... well. The 1.5 codebase is basically the wrong place to try and do
it (too much 'wasted' effort).
What I had been hoping / intending to do with DSpace 2.0 is turn
'dspace-jspui-api' into 'dspace-servlet-api', and rip out the JSPManager
in favour of a more generic ViewManager.
Then people can build different WAR types off of that with different
view technologies - JSP 2.0, Velocity, Freemarker, etc. (And probably
implement a JSP 2.0 based interface, generating very minimal XHTML + CSS).
Interestingly this is exactly what JSTL/JSP 2.0 meant to alleviate, a
lot of custom JSP tag-libraries became obsolete with the creation of
JSTL.
Yes, and custom tags can also be implemented in .tag/.tagx files, that
are structured like jsp/jpsx, for reusable components that do generate
XHTML.
