I’ve started working on a example app as well as a testing framework.  I’m jumping back and forth on some other projects, so dev will probably be slow.  My only issue is whether to piggy back htmlunit/httpunit or roll a lot of it myself.

The example application I envisioned for JSP Afterburner is a bust. I had an ideal but couldn’t really see what it looked like and did.  So I’ll go with an address book application.The Address book will be simple. I’ll use a multiple object model instead of a simple object.  This way I hope to nothing except build a profile for a single person.  I’m ignoring groups and companies for now. I’ll focus on the way makes a person. 

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.
