Ravi had some notes about this here: http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg15849.html
At Jakarta, we use Ant to build our HTML pages from XML and XSL. See the Struts source distribution for an example. I haven't tried it, but I keep thinking it would be interesting to do the same with JSPs. This would gives you the flexibility of XML,XLS without changing how you write your applications (e.g. custom tags), or incurring the overhead of the runtime transformations. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ Denis Goeury wrote: > > Hi, > > I am currently in the process of evaluating Struts to rewrite our > presentation layer.
