Hi Nicolas

Yes, you are right, there is a lot of code in the JSP. The purpose though is to show in a simple and easy way how to create nodes and properties programmatically. The guestbook is just a sample how you could use this. There are many other strategies you can follow, even some MVC patterns. However, the purpose is to UNDERSTAND how to add content dynamically. Once you got that, you can use any kind of strategy you think will fit your needs.

You can of course prepare FreeMarker model classes or even use filters to detect guestbook entries. But this example was simply to let audiences create a simple working example to study the way you deal with programmatically generated content.

Sorry for the confusion. I did actually never expect anybody to have one fully coded JSP for a guestbook. I will add some comments that the purpose is to demonstrate in some easy-to-repeat steps how to dynamically add content.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi,

I've reviewed the Guestbook 3.6 example (http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/Guestbook+for+3.6 ). I am a bit disappointed by the amount of Java code stored in the JSP page. Is there another strategy to handle the same use-case but put the java code in some king of action/filter/controller instead of in the view layer ?

any advice ?

Nicolas
