As much as I see the merit in what you are doing, I don't see how this saves
a developer any time in writing applications. It is basically creating an
HTML document from a Document Object Model rather than creating a DOM from
the HTML... which I think is a rather nifty concept =>
However, looking at the lines of code required for either putting in the
HTML tags or using ECS, I see no real savings. And how this is advertised
as making doing HTML easier in servlets defeats the purpose of JSP in my
mind, which is designed to provide a separation of business logic (servlets
or EJBs or both) from presentation logic (JSPs). However, since JSPs are
Java, and this toolkit is Java, this could be used in JSPs as well. But,
this is more "cool" than I see as really useful.
And this is just my opinion on this particular toolkit as I have followed
its development from concept to now release.
Do you have any plans to extend this concept into something that can
actually save me time and give "added value" over what the mark-up language
gives already? Or will this toolkit always just be a way to produce a
document in a supported mark-up language using Java objects and methods
rather than mark-up tags?
Thanks,
Chris
