HybridJava 0.8.8

This site offers a new Java-based technology for programming dynamic web content. The suggested is an alternative to Java Server Pages (JSP) template approach. The major difference is in the way Java code and HTML code coexist in one source file. In case of JSP a blind substitution takes place - whatever is substituted to wherever with zero control of what we get. The Hybrid Server Pages technology introduces a strictly defined language HybridJava (HJ) that has both Java and HTML operators incorporated. The immediate advantage is in a dramatic reduction of junk syntax of <% and %> delimiters, which often makes JSP pages hardly readable. Another obvious advantage of using a language and a compiler versus using a template engine is the possibility to check for errors (both in Java and in HTML) earlier. Besides Java and HTML constituents the HybridJava syntax incorporates a simple but powerful support for code factorization and reuse. Widgets are defined in HybridJava language without any additional programming. Unlike other user-defined tags implementations HJ widgets may have more than one insertion points, named in this case. Recursive usage of widgets is also supported.
