CHAPTER 6

Creating Dynamic Content Using Template Engines


A well-known tennis personality once told us “Image is everything!” Thisquip could just as easily be applied to the art of Web-application development. The presentation layers of an application are ultimately what determine the
perceived success or failure of the development effort. The effort to create the presentation layers of an application is hardly trivial, and as we shall see, is often encumbered by the marriage of two sometimes completely different cultures: that of the Web-page designer and the Java developer. This chapter looks at template engines and how they can be used to significantly reduce the agony and programming effort needed to create the presentation layers of an
application by separating the responsibilities of the Web-page designer from those of the Java developer.
