I'm looking for a template engine. Requirements:
- Runs on a JVM. Java is good; Jython, JRuby and the like, too...
- Can be used outside of servlets (unlike JSP)
- Is flexible wrt. to where the templates are stored (JSP and a lot of people require the templates to be stored in the FS). It should provide a template loading interface which one can implement or something like that
- Easy inclusion of parameterized templates- I really like JSP's tag fragments
- Good docs, nice code, etc., the usual suspects
I've looked at JSP- it's nearly perfect except for the servlet and filesystem coupling, Stringtemplate- I love the template syntax, but it fails on the filesystem coupling, the documentation is lacking and template groups and stuff are confusing, GXP, TAL, etc.
Ideas, thoughts?
