Guys, I really need some help here - anything you can all do to help is fantastic. I'm trying to build a site in Big 5 characters, but sometimes they come up and sometimes they're just garbled. To complicate matters, sometimes people are submitting the form with Big5 characters. Here's the

Add more library tags for each path, one per tag. No custom lib paths for each app as far as I know, just throw it in an EJB module, that's visible to all parts of the app. (and you can reload those classes) Mike -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Uhm, this is actually wrong. There's no reason you can't communicate directly with EJBs from a JSP (I do it alot). It's not strictly good practice to do so (using Session beans, JavaBeans or tags is a good abstraction layer) but often for quick apps it doesn't matter. Mike -Original
