Abstract
Efficient development of conventional web applications suggests extensive and thorough knowledge of web page delivery technologies such as HTML, Java, and JSPs. A rendering framework to define the static, cosmetic, “window dressing” type of content, replicated across multiple pages, in a single JSP template file which can then incorporate or include the dynamic, active content from other files, mitigates development inefficiencies. Such a rendering framework represents each screen output page by a file including the active content, while avoiding replication of the static content. Such inclusions may be nested in a hierarchical manner to enumerate the static content in one file and allow a web application to include active content according to a hierarchical inheritance. Metadata components, such as XML files, include the active content according to a predetermined declarative syntax, thereby facilitating implementation, which the framework then interprets into a resulting output page such as a JSP page.
