forging hypertext templates

The good old hypertext. What have they done to you, pal? Just look at you. JSPed all over. And all those taglibs hanging down your front.

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<!--Logon_Block_Start-->
<html:form action="/loginlogout/login" focus="username">
  <TABLE WIDTH="<bean:message key="block.size.x"/>" 
   ...

No, no, some other I may have done this to you myself a long time ago, but not again.
Joel is right, so facade elements with attributes and ognl and tapestry style it shall be.

editable, viewable, maybe even validatable and bindable. No use to go over the top with WebObjects.
