Also - let me try to make one thing clear. The debate is not "freemarker OR jsp", but "which templating language do you want to use?" - others can be supported, it's been made simpler over the last few years, and 4.5 and its simpler rewritten "page components" should make that even easier. > and jsp support in the last version > is so poor... That on the other hand is something we have to admit - there have been a few glitches and some tags were gone or not working anymore, or perhaps the docs were unclear ? As you mention below, your contribution will be welcome, and any constructive criticism or comments will also be helpful ! > I can see its advantage for anything that should be > bundled in a product (mainly because you are not forced to have > phisical files in the webapp, the stupid jsp limit), but IMHO well > used jsps are far better than freemarker templates in many contexts. They say to not feed the trolls, but I can't help and be curious: what's an example where a JSP would be a better choice ? (and I'm not saying there isn't such example - and I'm not saying there IS one better choice, other than a subjective, matter-of-taste one.
