I would say that the best thing to do is hablde all of your html on that jsp. Just write a switch based upon the result and display the code that is appropriate.

I'm new to JSP and all that so I wanted to post this question, sorry if you've covered it all before and stuff. I want to know if theres something that says that making an "empty" JSP page (by empty I mean one with no HTML tags or output) is a bad thing. I know I could write a servlet but I think it's more convenient to write a JSP page. In case you don't understand what I'm talking about, let me explain: I have this page where I enter information. I enter it into a form and then when the form is submitted I call a JSP page which redirects me to the "success" or "no success" page. In other words, this JSP page doesn't show any result by itself, It only performs some tasks (like creating a UIHandler object which creates a SQLGenerator object which uses the DBInterface object to write to the database) and then redirects. Is this something that's not preferred? Should I have the message ("success" or "no success") inside the doRegister.jsp page instead of having it redirect? What say y'all?
