Jsp beautifier

[Berlin Brown]

Is there such a tool avaliable to help you to auto-format the JSP code
you want it to be? Thanks.

emacs? or are you talking about the code in the .java generated through
for example tomcat-jasper. That is a mess of ugly, in those .java files.

The best way I can think about "beautifying" JSP is to NOT use it. Use
something like Jakarta Velocity as the templating engine (View component).

I've never tried it... but this search on Google turns up about a
gazillion links for something called Trita. Take a look at

That's rather disingenuous, don't you think? In the real world, people
don't always use their pet projects. If (as it sounds) the OP has a lot
of JSP code written by other people and needs to maintain it, do you
*really* think that trying to convert the whole thing to Velocity is a
worthwhile use of time?

Chris,
Wasn't really meant that way - I am just trying to de-tangle a JSP app
and cursing over the use of JSP as a view component. Bad timing ;-)

Sometimes it seems to me that there is more care taken on the formatting
of code (which is important - don't get me wrong) than on the actual
design of the app basics & framework.
