[jira] Commented: (CLEREZZA-282) .ssp handling in Integrated Development Environments (IDE)

["Reto Bachmann-Gmür (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLEREZZA-282?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12908771#action_12908771 ] 

Reto Bachmann-Gmür commented on CLEREZZA-282:
---------------------------------------------

SSP are to Scala what JSP is to Java. Becaue of scala support for XML literal an SSP is closer to the Scala class than with the java counterparts, in fact you only need to add some lines on top of the ssp and some at the end to have a valid Scala class.

You can achieve everything you can do with SSP (and some more) also writing renderlets directly in Scala rather than in SSP, this is possible with CLEREZZA-278 (to which I'll now add some documentation and close it).

The main advantage of ssp compared with scala renderlets are:
- dynamic compilation (you can edit the ssp at runtime, no need to redeploy or manually compile)
- it's like a template: in most cases a valid xhtml page without doctype decalaration is a valid SSP, you can star from add and add the actual contents inserting section between braces


What could be done for this issue:
- We could offer dynamic compiling also to proper scala renderlets
- we could offer a netbeans or eclipse plugin for SSP

> SSP stands for Scala Server Pages. The advantage of Scala Server Pages should be that they are Scala. But they are not. As a result IDEs don't really work
> correctly with them as shown in the picture. This means that the IDE cannot function as powerfully as it should. One should be able to jump to documentation
> for classes used for example, have completion working etc... Instead we have a very non standard language, which does not even have the advantage of being
> XML (for which many editor modes exist), and for which there are very few developers available.
> So either one should make the Scala be proper Scala or ...? 
> Btw.
> The hint for the red lines here say "Expected Class or Object definition"
