It would be interesting to know how many people uses Velocity, JSP or alternate templating systems for their portals. Just increment the relevant number and give, optionally, your reasons
- [6] Velocity
- [3] JSP
- [0] Other
Give further explanations here, separated with a rule, and signed (if you want) like - SantiagoGala
The JSP portlet does not allow the caching of the content. I was able to implement something that did allow this but it was a huge kludge. Better kludges are available under later servlet APIs than I was using (filters). Furthermore the use of the request dispatcher is VERY inefficient and upon profiling we found it used FAR more CPU/time than Velocity. We do more XML/XSLT than actual velocity portlets, but that is another story. - AndrewCOliver
