JET Scriptlet Syntax Reference
JET Templates may contain sections Java statements by enclosing
the Java expression between the characers <% and
%>.
Valid scriptlets
Scripts may contain one more more valid Java statements or
blocks. A scriptlet may also include a partial Java block, so long
as a subsequent scriptlet completes it. Scriplets may reference any
Java elements in scope, including variables declared in other
scriptlets, and methods and fields declared in
Java declarations or
Implicit Java Objects. Some examples of valid scriplets:
<%
int x = 3;
%>
<%
int y = x * 6;
%>
<% if(y >= 18) { %>
<%-- The above scriptlet opens a block which is closed in the next scriptlet --%>
Y is >= 18
<% } %>
The emitted Java code for the template will contain the Java
statements in the generatation method.
Invalid scriptlets
Any syntax error in the Java statements will result in errors in
the emitted Java code. The JET compiler does not attempt to
correlate the Java compile error back to the JET template.
Escaping Scriplet characters
To emit the characters <% in a templates output,
enter <\%. To emit %>, enter
%\>
