What do you mean? Looking at MasonX::Lexer::MSP i'm guessing that you want to use Perl "inside" XML/HTML - you can look at Text::Template, Apache::ASP or PLP. I wouldn't recommend any of them for bigger applications, though, just as I probably wouldn't recommend using "plain" JSP in big Java web-app either. I'd go for HTML::Template or Template::Toolkit, (possibly combined with Maypole or CGI::Application, because they "force" you to split up representation and application logic, so your application has a much better chance of staying maintainable. I can ofcourse be wrong in my interpretation of your question, so: If you want to call Java from Perl, you might want Inline::Java. If you want to call Perl from Java, take a look at this post. What do Ant and DBI have to do with JSP? "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

I got a little ahead of myself (astray) when referring to DBI, just disregard. I mentioned it because I have these jsp renderers in a database, and I used DBI to access them (for now). Thanks for the tips, especially This One. That is somewhat of the direction I want to go. CSUhockey3	[reply]

If you are trying to do code generation, the book Code Generation In Action by Jack Herrington has examples of how to generate JSP's; this book uses Ruby as the scripting language, but someone might have translated the code to Perl by now.	[reply]

I am generating some code, my JSP(s) render(s) xml files. I have datacapture templates (JSP) that convert to xml and then post to my company's CMS (not my idea, just they way I have to do it). To make things easier, however, I threw all of my JSP renderers together in a db. I know this might sound a little convoluted - sorry. Thanks for the book tip, I will investigate. CSUhockey3	[reply]
