Re: some comparision between JSP/struts and velocity

[suhas]

I did not get the directives in the Velocity - they say #if else #foreach are directives and u can create additional custom directives using velocity macros  . They go ahead and tell that this can be used instead of the rich struts tags . It looks they were putting everything in the VelocityContext which is accessed in the .vm pages ( simiar to jsp pages) I did not even get how this going to help in web-based application .Looks very weird when jakarta site was so many -ve remarks about struts when comparing the velocity and struts/jsp .             ----- Original Message ----- From: Duffey, Kevin To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2001 1:42 AM Subject: RE: some comparision between JSP/struts and velocity Totally agree!
