Re: Disappointed by the guestbook 3.6 example

Hi Nicolas

Yes, you are right, there is a lot of code in the JSP. The purpose  
though is to show in a simple and easy way how to create nodes and  
properties programmatically. The guestbook is just a sample how you  
could use this.
There are many other strategies you can follow, even some MVC  
patterns. However, the purpose is to UNDERSTAND how to add content  
dynamically. Once you got that, you can use any kind of strategy you  
think will fit your needs.

You can of course prepare FreeMarker model classes or even use filters  
to detect guestbook entries. But this example was simply to let  
audiences create a simple working example to study the way you deal  
with programmatically generated content.

Sorry for the confusion. I did actually never expect anybody to have  
one fully coded JSP for a guestbook. I will add some comments that the  
purpose is to demonstrate in some easy-to-repeat steps how to  
dynamically add content.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi,

I've reviewed the Guestbook 3.6 example (http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/Guestbook+for+3.6 
). I am a bit disappointed by the amount of Java code stored in the  
JSP page.
Is there another strategy to handle the same use-case but put the java  
code in some king of action/filter/controller instead of in the view  
layer ?

any advice ?

Nicolas
