Re: Free Htmltemplate: Java implementation of HTML::Template

After looking at your template, I'd say that I like your design too.  My 
design decisions were influenced by two factors prevalent at the time 
that it was written.

- I only had access to jdk 1.1.8 - hence the choice of Hashtables
- I was primarily a perl programmer with a need for a means to separate 
code and presentation in java - which is why it looks more like perl and 
less like java.

I also liked that you had implemented filters.  I'd meant to do it a 
long time ago, but just never got down to it, primarily because I didn't 
have a need for it.  I find that most people use filters for just one 
purpose - to get this to work: <tmpl_include name="<tmpl_var filename>">

All the best to your project, maybe I'll contribute to it sometime.
