It just uses an interface called "VariableRegistry". So it's not JSP dependent (doesn't need any J2EE API's). It's not exactly EL, it's EL, but instead of JSP 2.0 function invocation, you can call any method on an object through ":" like "There are #{order.lineItems:size} in your order".

Does it need a JSPContext? or can be used in servlets too? If so I would be very very interested in seeing you release it :-) -----Original Message----- From: Hookom, Jacob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 5 March 2004 00:36 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: JSF RI Final is out! Yeah, package is "org.apache.banten.*" I just ran some benchmarks for bean properties and method invocation through EL, and my version of the EL parser is running about 5 times faster, for bean property invocation. For straight method invocation (a replacement of the MethodUtils in Commons Bean Utils) it executes about 10-20 times faster and handles fuzzy "best method" lookup. I should almost release the expression parser separately. -Jake -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 10:25 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: JSF RI Final is out!

I've come to the conclusion that I'm disappointed with JSF. Yes, I see what it's trying to accomplish, but it puts too much overhead in the JSP designer, you can't easily create dependencies in the controller, no exception handling, etc. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=490234 Based on what I've learned from JSF, I'm working on a framework called "Banten" which is an attempt to remove the need for Actions/Forms, etc (yes, I've jumped on the bandwagon). So then your actions can be chained on a single request as: "#{orderController.order.addLineItem(param.id}" "#{orderController.order:validate()}" I've finished the expression parser (it actually benchmarks a good deal faster than the current EL implementations). Now to finish the Controller :-) -Nerdy -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 8:14 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: JSF RI Final is out!
