WELD is an acronym for "Web Enabled Logic Documents" and performs server
parsing of HTML with JACL.
The Open Source WELD package is available with how-to documentation at:
http://www.javafoundry.com/~lhall/weld/
WELD consists of an introductory tutorial, a TemplateProcessor servlet, a
TemplateCache class, and a few example commands classes (such as
"counter", "now", and "include") which are immediately useful for web
application development. If you prefer to use Tcl, you can implement
commands and include them at user session creation or directly from the
web page.
The WELD approach may be more useful for web development than Tclets since
this technique doesn't require that anything be installed on the client
PC. It may be more useful than TclCGI on the server because it uses JACL
to run in the JVM of the servlet container. It may also be easier than
JSP to connect your Java classes to web pages.
One thing is certain, though, WELD is another reason to use JACL. With
less than 600 lines of code, it depends on the JACL framework for all it's
power.
