I'm always up for a good flame war. I do admit XSLT is an acquired taste.
In my particular case things like Freemarker are not versatile enough. My first problem is only part of my project is Java so I need something that does not require Java. For better or worse I can use XSLT in Cobol on a mainframe. Next I send/receive a lot of data via XML to/from other systems that do not have Java. Java objects are not my primary data representation and there may not even be any Java in my data flow. I do have one question. I'm not familiar with Freemarker and I can understand using it standalone but what advantage does it have over Tapestry templates that would make it worth learning if you are already using Tapestry? When I need that kind of functionality I just call a Tapestry page like a web service. Then I get my whole environment including services, permissions etc. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Make-Report-PDF-tp5533477p5580090.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
