Hey... u going to confuse David... ;)
Yes.... David.... Tomcat is one fancy machine and it also supports tag libs.
These things are like html tags... just well formed xml.
Struts, Spring and Sun (tomcat frameworks) all have tag libs for just about
everything...
So for example... one can (simplified) type
<html:form blah blah>
and tomcat will stick all the HTML that you would have to write for a form
into your page for you..
and thats wot martin is showing you.... that you can also associate styles
with these fancy things... and if there are errors you can even associate
styles with that.
BUT without the frameworks tomcat is very much plain old HTML...
so you can use it either way....
In the new netbeans you can see where the whole tag thing is going.... in
there you will find a "visual web" designer.... it feels like you using
swing... just drag and drop, set properties, write a little event code....
etc
If you look at the HTML (JSP) page it makes... its one complex combination
of tag libs, script, CSS and everything else you can think of.
Thing that is really important to understand is that all these frameworks
are in competition with each other....
Struts competes with Spring who competes with Jboss who competes with Suns
EJB servers.... its chaos.
Now Java Server Faces is suns latest an greatest and you'll see its used in
the Visual designer... and if I'm correct they seem to have left out
struts... now I wonder why ;)
EJB3 some say has stolen good ideas from Spring.... Resin have taken tomcat
and reinvented protocols to make EJB better...
It gives me a huge head-ache!...
So... dont use any framework blindly.... I always try and imagine who is
going to win, and its not always who is the best technology right now.
One thing is for sure.... Basic Tomcat is a winner..... after that, your
guess is as good as mine.
I still like doing it the hard way... HTML, CSS, and a little JSP... now and
then a little XML....
and I steal like crazy from the frameworks.... ha ha.
.... u c.... Tomcat is very very good ;)

David--
I would suggest incorporating style and or styleClass and errorStyle and
or errorStyleClass attributes which derive from supplied CSS
If your thinking MVC (and Struts specifically) I would look at the Tag
documentation available at
http://struts.apache.org/1.x/struts-taglib/tlddoc/html/file.html

Subject: Cascading style sheets and tomcat
Can I use .css files with .jsp's, particularly when they are being
served up by Tomcat 5.5? Or do they only work with static html files?
TIA!
Dave
