Re: [OT] thick client functionality in the browser

[Frank Zammetti]

Geez, I hope your not talking about an app I did part of a couple of years 
ago! :)  Sounds very familiar... We had some Cobol jobs on a mainframe who's 
output we ran through something from IBM called Web Templates... It's meant 
to generate HTML, but instead we generated XML from it, then sent that XML 
to another server where it was processed via XSLT to generate the final 
HTML.  It was also rather script-heavy (eh, it was cool at the time, and I 
wasn't lead on the project, so I only accept partial blame! :) )

I agree with Frank that -- it is amazing what you can do with JavaScript 
and IE-specific stuff.  A few jobs ago I had to inherit an heavy JavaScript 
app where the page was generated with XSLT.  I converted to use Struts but 
I had to preserve the JavaScript.  It is difficult to keep the MVC 
architecture -- one thing you can do is use Struts/JSTL tags to generate 
the JavaScript -- such as arrays, etc. The app I inherited was doing this 
using XSLT so it wasn't too difficult to migrate to Struts.  I didn't have 
access to JSTL at the time -- my guess it would have been even easier using 
JSTL (heck, I could have used the XML tags).
