Isomorphic templating with Spring Boot, Nashorn and React
summary
Spring Framework 4.2 adds script templating that runs JavaScript template engines on the JVM via Nashorn (or Jython/JRuby) and integrates with Spring MVC and Spring Boot; example stack uses Handlebars/React loaded from webjars, compiled with Gradle, server-rendered to HTML and then rehydrated on the client with React and Server-Sent Events for live updates. Benchmarks show simple Handlebars at 500 pages/sec without cache and 6,000 pages/sec with cache; concurrency requires choosing shared engine vs per-thread engine to avoid global-state races.
