Well, sort of. If you don't want to use "Java applets" but java
classes, then Turbine can help you.
If you don't configure a template service (or even if you do :-) ),
you can back every screen, layout and page with a java class which
gets called if you request a certain template. There you can put java
code to generate your output.
Try putting
modules.packages = org.apache.turbine.modules, com.yourcompany.modules
into your TR.properties and then write a class
package com.yourcompany.modules.screens;
import org.apache.turbine.modules.Screen;
public class Myscreen extends Screen
{
public ConcreteElement doBuild(RunData data)
{
ConcreteElement ce = new StringElement();
ce.addElement("Hello World");
return ce;
}
}
and request
...your turbine url../screen/MyScreen
which should execute the doBuild() of that class above and render
it in a (possible Template) layout.
If you don't run a template service at all (remove it from TR.props),
you might need a page class which could extend DefaultPage and maybe a
layout class (if you don't have one, the page class will render the
screen directly).
Regards
Henning
(Hm, we might want to have a default page and layout class which is
used if we don't use a template service but want to render the output
of a class.)
