The Java Simple Templates Engine provides an easy way to merge token values into templates to produce final content.

The JST engine was born out of my frustration of managing Rustlings of the Wind, a quarterly literary webzine I was publishing at the time. A single issue can contain up to fifty web pages with identical layouts but different content. This library provided a way to define the layout once for all the content.

• 14 Aug 04: JST 3.1 Important Security Update
  A security exploit has been discovered in the JST engine when it is used with the servlet front-end. This release fixes that exploit. For details, see the Security Advisory JST-001.


• 08 Nov 03: JST 3.0 for the General Public
  The initial public release of the JST engine is now ready. This new release already has maturity and robustness from being in active use and development over the past 4 years.
