Hi,

Do you know, that JAVA is ready for an accessible web application ? Many
developers use angular with Java. It is because Java cannot produce
accessible html?

Any idea?

Are you talking about a stand alone java app, or about a web app whose
contents are generated by java (such as a .jsp page)?

A .jsp page can certainly be accessible. It's just generating html, and we
know what accessible html should look like.

Glen,

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I am talking about .jsp. I was told that
Java has limitations of HTML output, and consequently you cannot
gerenate HTML pages which comply with WCAG.

I do not know if this is true?

It's been a few years since I've written Java and JSP pages, but there are
no limitations that I'm aware of. You essentially have an html page, with
embedded java scriptlets. Your html can be as accessible as you want, and
anything the scriptlet generates is totally up to you. You can provide
ARIA properties on non-semantic elements from your Java code just as easily
as you can hand-code them in html.

Can you disable these scriplets and replace your own JS?

That might be starting to venture out if the accessibility realm and into jsp specific technology questions. A question like that might be better on stackoverflow.com
