Templates

Templating System
The ACS Java templating system uses the same template format and the same template/datasource methodology as ACS/Tcl 4.0. Templates are mostly static HTML with markup to indicate where dynamic values (datasources) are inserted in the text, and these templates are translated into JSP code and executed by the web server.
