prototype som jsp taglib

interessant å kikka på... på SF

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

ser jo lovande ut...

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.
