Sure. I've deleted some of the e-mails, but here's the list as best I can
remember it:
WebMacro at http://webmacro.org
Enhydra at http://enhydra.org
ECS XML tool on the Java-Apache site
HTML Screen (can't find the URL)
FreeMarker at http://freemarker.org
JSP, some suggested I could use it as a template
If you are using JavaWebServer (I think) there is also jhtml, and if you are
using IBM's webserver it has a similar product in it as well. The ones above
are not tied to just one server.
I wound up using WebMacro, and now have it running on about ten sites that
we build. I chose it because we already have a lot of Java objects written
and WebMacro lets us use them directly without having to create adapters, or
do anything special. The WebMacro templates also have quite a simple syntax,
and it's easy to work it into existing HTML pages. If you're doing something
different, one of the others might be better for you.
I find using a tool like WebMacro or one of the others makes my servlets a
lot cleaner than they used to be, since the HTML is not in there anymore. It
was easy to convert the println() servlets to WebMacro too, just move all
the HTML into its own file and add a bit of WebMacro script.
