Re: [Bodington-developers] Plugin interface

> If Bodington supports servlet includes
that's a function of the servlet container, not bod. I see what  
you're saying Jon but I just feel I'm being sucked back into bod due  
to the way it works.

The cleanest way to implement a sort of taglib - coz that's what  
you're limited to with the current architecture - loads of "sort ofs"  
- would be to handle <plugin ... /> tags in a template. Just as I  
added <localise ... /> tags.

> JSP are compiled to servlets
that's just a by product of the spec - no-one uses JSPs as servlets.  
JSPs were invented to get away from servlets.
