Jxp (Java scripted page) is a script-processor/template-engine that can execute template files containing text + java code. Jxp contains a parser to parse the script file into an abstract syntax tree and a tree processor (JxpProcessor) that will process the syntax tree to execute the code using reflection API to produce output.

Here are some key features of "Jxp":
Java as template language. Why learn another one? ;)
support common java language 1.4 constructs (partial 1.5 syntax support on jdk 1.4)
practical template sources management framework
support caching of parsed syntax tree to eliminate reparse of template
a servlet implementation to enable web-scripting
extensible processing context for defining built-in function on the scripts

Below is an example of a script file:

This is normal text
This is text with variable
This is another text with variable `var1`
This is yet another text with expression `var1.toString()`
< %
import java.util.*;

//print
println("This text is printed by jxp");

//populate the list with 1 to 10
var i = 0;
List l = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i

What's New in This Release:
This release fixes a small dependency problem.
A syntax was added for specifying text which should not be parsed.
The plus operator for strings was fixed.
A default package was added in class lookup.
Method lookup was improved in ReflectUtils (common-java) using a best match strategy (scoring) instead of first match.
The ability to lookup a class in the default package was added.
