This is a great idea. Now if someone could improve upon this just a ltitle
bit, we could have a commercial ready API.

Subject: Re: out.println(".....");? There's STILL no better way

>And changings in DESIGN ar very likely to produce every month
>(in this changeing world).
>So here is how i work:
> I have created a TemplateReader class that supports reading a template
>(HTML file) with comments marking zones like this :
><!--beginnews-->
>News
><!--endnews-->
>
>My servlet takes this template and fills out the dinamic part (news) and if
>the page design should be changed it can be done only the comments are to
be

>The servlet source looks like this:

>....
>StringBuffer news=new StringBuffer();
>news.append("Today's news as follows:...");
>
>TemplateReader template=new TemplateReeader(pathtotemplatefile,true);
>template.addReplaceAllRule("
><!--beginnews-->","<!--endnews-->",news.toString() );
>template.addReadRule("</html>");
>template.returnProcessedTextTo(out);
>templat.close();
>out.close();
>.....
>
>As You can see no out.println() :-))
