I would say that if you do those regularly, and it seems you do... it would be a good idea to either put them on a page you include at the top of each page, so they can't see it, or jsut create a tag, and then they can use it too... A difference of philosophy. I tend to not like doing boilerplate at all.... I'm quite pathological about it at times. Not a good thing all the time... and it slows me down on a new project.... then there comes a point when all the boilerplate is done.. and then cover your eyes and stop breathing coz the wheels are smoking, and i'm considerably faster then most. > > Daniel. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Woodchuck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: 27 August 2004 18:48 > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: RE: philosophical question/poll about Struts/JSTL, > scriptlets > > > > > > > > --- Daniel Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > hah forget the 'purist' approach! > > > > > > I use jstl / struts taglibs whereever possible. > > > > > > if i had a choice between writing my on taglib or > scriptlet.... for > > > me > > > scriptlet wins - much less hassel, and the code is there > for you on > > > the jsp, > > > and it's only normally for very simple things. > > > > > > The main times i use scriptlets are for stupidly simple > things that > > > appear > > > to have been overlooked with el/jstl: > > > > > > <% pageContext.setAttribute("linefeed", "\n"); %> > > > > > > Because you cant use \n in el for search and replace strings. > > > > > > Other use is for copying static final variables to the > page context > > > (how no > > > one spotted this before el was finalised i will never > know? or am i > > > missing > > > somthing?) > > > > hehe, yea the lack of easy way to access static final > variables using > > Struts/JSTL is what brought me to this state, lol. > > > > something so easy in scriptlets but needs quite a bit of > coding to do > > in non-scriptlet form by comparison. > > > > > > > > Daniel. > > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
