HTML.Template version 0.1.2 - 9 October 2002

HTML.Template aims to do to java what HTML::Template.pm did to perl.

HTML.Template makes it possible to use HTML Templates inside your java

code. You no longer need to recompile your servlets everytime you

change the HTML.

Your templates are normal HTML files with a few extra tags where variable

content goes. The Template module replaces these tags with values specified

through your program, and displays the combined document.

See the Howto for information and sample code to

use templates in your java programs.

This package is intended to make it easy for a HTML designer to develop

templates to be used in conjunction with your java code. Many a time

the person developing the application, and the person designing the look

aren't the same. The designer knows nothing about programming, and although

as developers we'd like to think that we are good designers, the fact is that

many of us aren't.

HTML.Template, like its perl counterpart, extends HTML with a few HTML like

tags - , , , ,

and . The file written with HTML and these

new tags is called a template. Using the HTML.Template class, you fill in the

values for the variables, loops and branches declared in the template.

What differentiates HTML.Template from other templating solutions is that is

enforces a strict distinction between logic and layout. A template cannot

contain programming logic (except from the branches and loops).

A second point worth noting, is that using HTML.Template for java and HTML::Template

for perl means that your templates are interoperable across two languages.

'The first cross-language templating standard', as Jesse Erlbaum would put it :).

Acknowledgements

Thanks go to Sam Tregar, the developer of the HTML::Template perl module, for

writing that most excellent module that I use for everything, and for sticking

firm to the principle of not allowing programming logic into templates.

I'd also like to thank Sam for allowing me to use the code examples from the perl

module in the documentation for this module. Those familiar with the docs of

HTML::Template will notice a lot in common in the overall documentation.

If you're planning of writing perl code that may require templates, have a look

at Sam's Module. The link is on the left (at the top if your browser doesn't

fully support stylesheets).

Thanks also to the chaps on the htmltmpl mailing list for keeping the discussions

lively.
