Antony, why dont you put the code from doPost in Simple as a code snippet in the JSP page? Primarily that is the purpose of code snippets. If there is any common functionality that you want in 10 JSPs, you can put them in a package, and use that package in your 10 java snippets within each JSP page.

I have a servlet, called Simple, with the following doPost code in it [snip] public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); out.println("Simple.doPost() I am a test printing a line from Simple."); } [snip] I call this from a jsp file ------------------------------ <HTML> <HEAD> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"> </HEAD> <BODY> <%@ include file="header.jsp" %> <jsp:include page="/servlet/simple" flush="true"> </jsp:include> <%@ include file="footer.jsp" %> </BODY> </HTML> ------------------------------ Is this a bad design? If in the doPost() method in Simple I have a out.close() then the [snip] <%@ include file="footer.jsp" %> </BODY> </HTML> [end of jsp file] is not included in the output of the jsp page when it is run. Should I use a custom taglib instead? I have a number of pages which I want to have a common header and footer, but I want the middle part to be constructed by a servlet. Whats the best way to go about this?
