Jxp

Jxp (Java scripted page) is a unique script-processor/template-engine that is specifically designed to execute template files comprising of text plus java code. This software comes packed with a powerful parser that parses the script file into an abstract syntax tree, and JxpProcessor that processes the syntax tree to execute the code with reflection API to produce output.

One of the key features that make Jxp stand out is its use of Java as the template language. This means that users do not need to spend time learning a new language to get started. Jxp also supports common java language 1.4 constructs (partial 1.5 syntax support on jdk 1.4). Additionally, this software also includes a practical template source management framework.

Jxp comes loaded with several features that enhance the user experience. For instance, there is caching of parsed syntax tree to eliminate a reparse of a template, a servlet implementation to enable web-scripting, and an extensible processing context for defining built-in functions on the script.

To give you an insight into how Jxp works, here is an example of a script file:

This is normal text

This is text with variable

This is another text with variable `var1`

This is yet another text with expression `var1.toString()`

< %

import java.util.*;

//print

println("This text is printed by jxp");

//populate the list with 1 to 10

var i = 0;

List l = new ArrayList();

for (int i = 0; i

In the latest version, Jxp has undergone several updates and improvements. The newest release fixes a small dependency problem, adds a syntax for specifying text that should not be parsed, fixes the plus operator for strings, and adds a default package in class lookup. Additionally, method lookup has been improved in ReflectUtils (common-java) using a best-match strategy (scoring) instead of a first match. Lastly, the ability to lookup a class in the default package has been added.

If you are looking for a reliable and efficient script-processor/template-engine, look no further than Jxp. This software has proven to be a game-changer in the world of programming and offers numerous features to make your programming experience hassle-free.
