Hi,
I've been looking for a way to generate a web site from source files in
different languages (HTML, markdown, bbcode, plain text...), both online
and offline.
After playing around a bit with Tiles 3.0 (from trunk), I think it comes
pretty close to the mark. By using custom renderers and a custom Request
class, I can include my foreign content into my webapp and run the
container outside of a servlet environment... except for one thing: the
tiles taglib.
JSP will never run outside of a servlet container of course, but
freemarker and velocity should. Except I believe the way they are
implemented in tiles forces the use of servlets. Am I wrong (that would
be wonderful)?
Would it take a lot to refactor the servlet api out of tiles-freemarker
and tiles-velocity ? It seems to me that very few classes would be
impacted. Of course, the configuration would be entirely different.
Thanks for your help
Nick
