Can any Java template modeling engine work with Websphere Commerce?

Question

I am a UX developer in a retail company, we use Websphere Commerce for our e-com sites. The app developer guy has full control over the HTML output that we have to write errors with them to get something as simple as an ID changed in HTML. HTML and foreground performance are not their specialty, and everything happens badly because of the situation. The whole situation is extremely inefficient, so I am developing a proposal for the introduction of templates on our platform so that we can fix this situation, and everyone can work on their wheelhouses. I saw several suggestions for Java templates, such as StringTemplate or FreeMarker. Knowing little about Java application development and the Websphere Commerce platform can any Java template modeling engine work with Websphere Commerce? If there are no recommendations for specific Websphere Commerce templates?

Answer 1

Apache Tiles (which is now separate from Struts) should be an option. For more information see:

Answer 2

Until I developed into Websphere Commerce, I think you have JSF in Websphere Commerce. Therefore, you should be able to add Facelets. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-facelets/

Answer 3

What version of trade are you using? You should be able to use eSpots and provide any content / html that you want in these places. I actually created a YouTube video on eSpots - you can check them here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zngS5Zv33vw&list=UU_XKh8vvQlKnaScxFgjtq3w&index=11&feature=plcp

The video shows how to use precision marketing with eSpots, but you can determine what content you want to use in eSpot.

Answer 4

Many things that already exist are already suppressed with Websphere Commerce, such as Coremedia and e-Spirit.
