Using JSP taglibs in T5?
Do people think this is possible and worth doing, or a complete
non-starter? We occasionally want to use products/libraries that come
with taglibs as their primary way of integrating functionality into
pages. For example, it might be a CMS product with taglibs to render
content + formatting into the page.
Freemarker manages to do this but not looked at how. I wondered if
anyone else has tried this or thought more about it...
Thanks!
Alfie.

Complete non-starter, IMHO. JSP is meant to be compiled into a servlet
class, Tapestry templates are not. JSP tags have a lifecycle, Tapestry
templates has another completely different one.
If you have access to the sources of the taglibs, maybe you have some
code to start writing correspondent Tapestry components.

Freemarker is way simpler than the Tapestry template engine because
the former is just a template engine and only needs to output text,
while Tapestry is a web framework that has lifecycle events,
components, etc.

I have seen this sort of functionality used in DWR. The response is wrapped
in a class that writes to a local buffer instead of the response output
stream.

I think i remember a Tapestry component in the wiki (not sure if it
was T4 or T5) that would include a jsp
in the current (tapestry) page -
it basically did
context.getRequestDispatcher( jspPath ).include(request, response)
I'm not really sure if this still works + it would mean you'd use the
taglib in that jsp
which you then include through the component... also, if the taglib
generates links,
they'll probably not work
