Abstract

One or more servers are communicatively connected to a client. An application program and a dummy template engine run on the servers. The dummy template engine substitutes an original template engine that can run on the servers. The original template engine is normally used by the application program to fill parameters of a template at the servers. The dummy template engine has the same interface as the original template has, such that the application program accesses the dummy template engine no differently than it accesses the original template engine. The dummy template engine is thus accessed by the application program in lieu of the original template engine. The dummy template engine causes the parameters of the template to be filled at the client instead of at the servers, such that template parameter filling is offloaded to the client.
