In Servlets, we have init() and destroy() methods. But where are they in JSP ? For example, I have a database connection pool, and I would like to create it in the init() method and destroy in the destroy() method. How to do that in JSP ? Thanks in advance. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
