Description

Click claims to fully support JSP as a template rendering choice, alongside Velocity and Freemarker. However, it does not provide any JspTemplateService, and thus JSPs currently cannot be used for template-based rendering of Panel controls.

I have therefore created a JspTemplateService class which can be used in the same way as Velocity and Freemarker (by configuring click.xml to use it), so that JSPs can be used to render Panel templates in the same way as the other supported template technologies. I'd like to contribute this class, called JspTemplateService, to Click so that Click can come closer to its stated goal of full JSP support.
