Re: Developing a webapplication with JSF/J2EE: where do I start?

[James Perkins <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, that also shows how much I know about Spring :-). I didn't know they
had a tag library.

I am by no means an expert. I keep learning something about Java each day. I
would strongly advise not use the <%%> tags though. I created an intranet
site at the last place I worked that used Java code and <%%> all over the
pages. It was my first attempt at Java/JSP coding and it's now just a mess!

Take a look at the JSTL tags and the expression language (EL). It will give
you MUCH cleaner pages.
Simple output:
<%= myClass.getValue() %>

Using JSTL tags and EL:
<c:out value="${myClass.value}" />

For loop:
<% for (String string : myClass.getMyList) { %>
<%= string %><br>
<% } %>

Using JSTL and EL:
<c:forEach var="string" items="${myClass.myList}">
<c:out value="${string}" /><br>
</c:forEach>
