RE: [Jython-users] idea: custom tag library and jython

[Anthony E. <ae...@si...>]

FWIW, the JPublish framework supports using Jython for implementing
actions (small pieces of code which are triggered when a URL is
requested) through BSF and allows the Jython scripts to place objects
into the Velocity context.  All of the example code uses Python for the
actions (I am a big fan of Python, and especially Jython).

JPublish is at: http://www.jpublish.org/

Personally I am looking forward to the day when I can ditch all of my
JSP code.  I am really tired of having HTML and code mixed together and
JSP, while you can do MVC, it is just to easy to put code in the page.

Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
