    <p>I want to be able to define templates once and use them to render html from both the server-side as well as the client-side. (DRY principle and all that)</p> <p>The API that I'm envisioning is simply this: render(JSON, template) --> html. </p> <p>I'm using a java-framework (actually Play framwork, but I don't think this is framework specific). </p> <p>I've read a lot of similar questions, the latest, and most helpful being: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5494839/templating-language-for-both-client-side-and-server-side-rendering">Templating language for both client-side and server-side rendering</a>. </p> <p>I pretty much agree with the author that obvious contenders like: Mustache and Google Closure Templates are not going to cut it. (for reasons see that post)</p> <p>Requirements: </p> <ul> <li>MUST: client-side rendering </li> <li>MUST: client-side caching of template-files</li> <li>NICE: client-side 'compile-once execute many times' of template-file to fast javascript-code</li> <li>MUST: server-side rendering</li> <li>NICE: native java implementation</li> </ul> <p>I've seen a bunch of posts suggesting the use of Node.js for server-side templating. Although this would definitely work (underscore templates, Handlebarsjs, EJS would all work just fine) I'm struggeling to see how to communicate/combine/integrate Node.js with java, after all it's still the java framework that needs to output the JSON </p> <p>I've seen posts mentioning some proof-of-concept communicating between a JVM and node.js (over http or using JNDI) . However, no library, let alone battle-tested, seems to be available at the moment. </p> <p>So to round things up, what client-side templating engine would you suggest that would run in java as well (or with some hoops, can be called from a jvm) ? And if that 'hoop' happens to be Node.js, what ways of communication/ library would you suggest to use?</p>

    1. COWhy not use node.js instead of Play? There are plenty of SSJS systems running on the JVM like Rhino and ringojs

    2. COBecause I'm from a java background and I'm dealing with an existing application. I 'just' want to refactor the presentation-part of it. Concerning ringojs, I've looked into it but Node.js seems to perform far better than ringojs (from what I've read). Perhaps I shouldn't worry about that when the alternative would be to connect over http to Node.js because of the network latency, but that's one of the things I'm trying to find out.

    3. COAre you sure you need the server side rendering? I'm guessing that after applying the template on the server you won't be doing anything else with the resulting HTML except spit it out in the response... On the other hand you could run a JavaScript templating language inside the JVM with a JavaScript-2-JVM runtime. Generate the JSON code on Java side, pass it to the JS side and collect the output. I have only done that on .NET with JScript.NET compiled dynamically but you should also be able to get it working in Java in a similar way.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
