I have finally waded through the hundreds of messages in this list and converted the FAQ kinds of questions into the FAQ (contributors noted). Whilst on the topic, this FAQ is getting unwieldy (read large and ugly) - should I convert it to HTML and only post in HTML? It is 34k, which is probably a huge load on Sun's servers... Perhaps I should just put it on the web and indicate mirrors? Version 3: - Questions 23 onwards - New JSP capable web server (Orion) - GNUJSP's site has changed - Clarified the Reference implementation in (3) - Added in a connection pool example (13) Official WWW Location of FAQ: http://www.esperanto.org.nz Nicer looking (but not necessarily up to date) FAQ: http://www.caucho.com/misc/jsp-faq.html Oh, and questions 23 and onwards are: 23) What are the important steps in using JDBC in JSP? 24) How does variable scope work in JSP? 25) How do I forward to an HTML page? 26) Are there any white papers or documents explaining how JSP fits? 27) How to I create dynamic GIFs for my JSP? 28) Do you know where I could get some code that would encode something to the HTML DTD standard? 29) What is page compilation? 30) How are servlets and JSP pages related? 31) Any good web sites for up to date activities in the Java/JSP/Servlet world? 32) How do I force a user to log in? 33) So how can a newbie get started with JSP? 34) How can I ensure that session objects stay in existence when the web server restarts? 35) How can I include one JSP inside another JSP? 36) Is there some sort of event that happens when a session object gets bound or unbound to the session? -- Richard Vowles, Senior Systems Engineer, Inprise New Zealand, MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] HTTP: The Esperanto Group, www.esperanto.org.nz [my messages contain my own opinions, not those of my employer] =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
