My company wants to level up by deploying our web-application as spring boot executable jar:
Specifications (Legacy Webpap):
- classic web app (25 years old) but now with Spring
- Over 100 jsp files
- And more jsp files generated by our custom jsp generator
- Custom jsp tag lib with more than 30 java classes
All jsp files are html 4 files with Active X components.
Problem
One of the main problems is that jsp rendition is not supported in executable jars. Therefore I consider using Thymeleaf. My best guess is to replace the rendition process in our custom jsp generator. In the future (don't know when that is) we plan to migrate to a single page web app but for now I need to run the web app as jar and with our existing templates and tag library.
My Question
Is it possible to use Thymeleaf along with our custom tag library?
