Of course. That the whole idea with things like JSP and ASP. Using
JavaServlets exclusively, for example, is a plain. Try to implement complex
HTML pages exclusively with a CGI, for example. You can do it, but it's
going to be time consuming to develop and maintain. That's what JSP is for.
But I have never used Zope Pages Templates before. Here's what I found at
Zope:
(http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZPT3)
"Zope is an object-oriented web application server that is managed through a
web interface. This interface allows you to add and manipulate Zope objects.
Zope's managment interface is one of its most powerful features, but there
is one area where using Zope's managment interface is difficult: editing
templates."
"To edit a template through Zope's managment interface, you have to work in
an HTML text area. For large templates, or lots of changes to a template, or
templates containing complex, formal markup, the browsers text area becomes
very frustrating for someone used to working with a more advanced text
editor."
Kind of sounds like the status quo to me - i.e, coding template code in HTML
documents. But I'm sure Zope is cool. However, if we all do some Java,
then we can co-develop together. Otherwise, you may do PERL, someone else
C, others Python, etc. That will always be the case, but Java can and
should become a core language in many developers' toolbox.
My 2 cents. Patrick.
