Class SimpleTemplate

java.lang.Object
  bsh.servlet.SimpleTemplate

public class SimpleTemplate
extends java.lang.Object

This is a simple template engine. An instance of SimpleTemplate wraps a StringBuffer and performs replace operations on one or more parameters embedded as HMTL style comments. The value can then be retrieved as a String or written to a stream. Template values in the text are of the form: Substitutions then take the form of: template.replace( "NAME", value ); Two static util methods are provided to help read the text of a template from a stream (perhaps a URL or resource). e.g.

Method Detail

getTemplate

public static SimpleTemplate getTemplate(java.lang.String file)

Get a template by name, with caching. Note: this should be updated to search the resource path first, etc. Create a new instance of a template from the specified file. The file text is cached so lookup is fast. Failure to find the file is also cached so the read will not happen twice.

getStringFromStream

public static java.lang.String getStringFromStream(java.io.InputStream ins)
                                            throws java.io.IOException

Throws:
