Hello Everyone,
I am looking for some insight into whether or not RML & the IDRS should
remain a "proprietary" system separate from JSP, or if RML tags should
be implemented as JSP taglibs. There are some key reasons as to why I
want to make a move to JSP:
1. RML is a set of tags, not a scripting language like WebMacro.=20
It relies on external engines for scripting
2. It give more flexibility in it's implementation, allowing for
other taglib implementations to be used in conjunction with RML.
3. It takes away a lot of the compile/deploy complexity out of the
system.
4. Use of standard development tools
There are some dis-advantages though :
1. Breaking of legacy apps. Perhaps a translation utility? Since
RML does a conversion into XML, it shouldn't be that hard.
2. Loss of control. A key aspect of RML is to limit control to the
system resources. JSP is a much more general system with a lot
more flexibility.
3. It would be harder to "embed" RML into applications (something
that isn't very difficult right now)
I would appreciate anyone's opinion on this matter.
Thanks
