Chris "beans = COM objects"? I guess it depends on the style of your old ASP pages. If they accessed multiple COM DLLs, then yes.
But if you had a single COM DLL exposing multiple interfaces, then the equivalent is simply to write your Java classes and parcel them up in a JAR. Tell your JSP server where it is (e.g for Tomcat 3.3, put it in lib/common) and away you go. cheers Mark -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Christopher Martin Sent: 16 May 2002 12:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ok, I'm new to JSP I come from the way-not-too-friendly web dev (in the sense of coding) world of ASP. I have just taken my first course in Java. As I'm sure your not surprised, I'm hooked on Java now. It just took a class to show me the power of Java. My question: Where can I get a good starting place in writing Java web apps? I'm not talking how to write "hello world" crap. I'm looking for a good reference for coding standards. From my understanding, beans == COM objects. Right? How about how to reference methods within those beans? What about these killer things I've heard about; custom tag libs? Someone throw me a bone.
