A much better xjs handler... works as follows:

1) If the *.xjs.ssjs file exists and is newer than the *.xjs file, simply load()s the *.xjs.ssjs file. 2) Otherwise, generates the *.xjs.ssjs file from the *.xjs file as follows: Anything inside the tag <?xjs ... ?> is SSJS. A simple welcome.xjs page would then be as follows: <html> <head> <title><?xjs write(system.name)?></title> </head> <body> Your SysOp <?xjs write(system.operator)?> would like to welcome you to <?xjs write(system.name) ?> </body> </html> This is converted to welcome.xjs.ssjs as follows: writeln('<html>'); writeln('<head>'); write('<title>'); write(system.name); writeln('</title>'); writeln('</head>'); writeln('<body>'); write('Your SysOp '); write(system.operator); writeln(' would like to welcome you to'); write(''); write(system.name) ; writeln('</body>'); writeln('</html>'); Now all you PHP folks out there can get comfortable writing XJS scripts if I understand how PHP embedding works.
