NetBeans IDE Allows JDJ Contributing Editor to Build JSP Tag Library @ JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL

With the ever growing popularity of the Prototype JavaScript library, ... Jason Bell ... has created an alpha release of a JSP Tag library on sourceforge.net.

Called "prototaglib" it enables JSP developers to create the required AJAX calls to the Prototype library. It's similar to the Ruby On Rails way of doing things.
....
The taglib enables developers to create link or form based remote tags that call either servlet or jsp pages to populate the required div tags. There are also tags to update a div over a specific period of time.

Currently at an alpha release it is hoped that the community will aid in feedback and request features that can be worked on.

WUI - alternativ til JSP

WUI - Web User Interface Framework

JSP development sucks

Let's face it: no two browsers support HTML, XHML, CSS or JavaScript consistently. Wasn't Java supposed to let you "write once, run everywhere"? Well today you can, and you don't have to use applets.

JSPs were great in the infancy of Web development in Java. Today, it's clear that they're the wrong tool for the job. They promote model-1 programming and offer very little reuse potential for the application programmer. Sure there's TAGLIBs. They're no silver bullet: they're performance hogs, they add new dependencies, new semantics and offer very poor reuse capabilities unless you're the author of the tag library itself.

java vs scriptspråk

jf tanken om å ha eit "kjerneverktøy" og skilja ut så mykje som mogleg av perifere, isolerte ting og tang, eller "add-ons"... (td å legga til info for mange på ein gong)

sjekk diskusjon om sterke og svake sider ved kompilerte språk vs skript-språk.

javaBin - Sun adopterer JRuby

JRuby er en implementasjon av programmeringsspråket Ruby i java som gjør det mulig å kjøre ruby-programmer på en JVM, og som også gir muligheter for tett integrasjon mellom java og ruby-kode. JRuby vil fortsette under samme open-source lisens som tidligere.
