If you don't want to use Java in your page, you can take a
different approach and use the model where the user sends a
request to a servlet which callPage's a JSP. Do all of your
processing in the servlet, and place the resulting beans into
the session. Then, all you have to do in your JSPs is use
the INSERT values of the bean properties.
Using this approach can make life easier for your graphic
designers. Also, it allows them to completely change the
visuals of the page without having to involve a Java designer.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Greg.
