HybridJava compiler 0.94

Major Features:

1. The suggested technology continues JSP approach which only advantage is exactly the above mentioned symmetry in using Java and HTML, but goes much further.
   • In this sense HybridJava is a successor and thus a modern alternative to Java Server Pages.
   • However JSP is just a template engine that does not in fact care about text between just two delimiters, but Java Server Pages technology capitalizes upon real compilation and thus upon a deep knowledge of the application structure.
2. In HybridJava both Java and HTML operators are incorporated into a single formal grammar. Besides Java and HTML constituents the HybridJava syntax has a simple but powerful support for code factorization and reuse - widgets are defined in HybridJava language without any additional Java programming.
3. Unlike all known user-defined tags implementations HybridJava widgets may have more than one insertion points named in this case.
   • Recursive usage of widgets is also supported.
   • A unique feature of HybridJava widgets is their transparency for Java context when Java variables of a page are accessible in its widgets.
4. Technology includes an extremely transparent framework that includes application, page and widget level data session-scope persistance.
   • Compiler resolves the identifiers used in widgets and pages against Java definitions in Java blocks, definitions of widget attributes, in instances of widgets, page page instance and application-level data.
   • Components may send and receive signals.
   • The compiler generates Java source codes, one Java class for each page.
   • Execution of this code results in generation of the outgoing HTML.

Enhancements: Component model enhanced with signals

Requirements: none
