We're already working with a similar setup, using NAS 2.1 and GX-templates.
In this system there are servlet-like java classes (called applogics)
that fill row-oriented request data.
This data is then formatted using a template file.
We like this design a lot because it separates the business logic nicely
from the layout.
I hope I don't start a long-simmering jsp vs. servlet discussion, but
we've looked at jsp's and their mixing of layout and logic doesn't
appeal to us.
I'm aware of the performance penalty caused by xslt.
It's one of my greates worries in this whole project.
We've done some preliminary tests on a desktop machine
(Pentium 500 Mhz IIRC) on which it took 30 ms to transform a single
page. Which would be fast enough for our purposes.
regards,
Paul Siegmann
