No help for JSP February 2, 2008

I’ve been wondering why there’s not a popular java library for outputting text into an HTML page. Other language have methods/functions/procedures to escape html tags or sanitize tags found in strings. But Not Java. It’s another case of the small stuff that makes life easier being ignored.

JSP Afterburner will provide the common helpers. It’s one of the accomplishments to qualify as a version 1 product. Along with escapers and sanitizers, tag builders will be needed. But not the fancy stuff found in other java web frameworks where form parameters are tracked. Just sweet simple text construction utilities.
