I come from a .Net background where we get a page_load event whereby we can populate the DOM from server with whatever we need when constructing the page.
I don't see this in JSP-land. It looks like you can put code in <% much like with old-ASP pages, but that is really ugly and non-maintainable in my opinion. The only thing I can think of is to basically make a small jsp that I include in each jsp page which makes a call to a server class passing in the request, response objects. <% MyClass myclass = new MyClass(HttpRequest, HttpResponse) myClass.doPageLoad() %> This class would basically be a gatekeeper, determine the calling page, and process accordingly. Thoughts? Is there a better pattern for Java/JSPs? Thanks, TF -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
