Reaching out to the list to see what my fellow abandonees prefer for templating. My needs are pretty simple - I’m just looking to use templates to compose emails. I have far too many email methods where the bodies of the emails are completely composed in code and I’d really like to move that out to some template engine.
So, the question is, what template engine do you prefer for this kind of work? Obviously, we’ve already got velocity producing our EO .java files - and I’m sure that’s workable. Any strong preferences out there?
I really like StringTemplate (http://www.stringtemplate.org). A feature I liked was the ability to pass an object to the template and the template could contain “keypaths” to attributes of the object - very much like we expect from the WO template engine. However, it would not work with accessors that do not use the get* convention - which I haven’t. I could convert but not sure it is worth it.
