Creating web pages on the fly

[JProg]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently looking to alter the way that my web site works. As we all know the traditional approach to serving web pages is to simply store a vast number of .htm files on a server. I have achieved this and would now like to create a jsp template that will generate html (or dhtml) pages on the fly. This jsp template will respond accordingly to user requests and create pages that reflect user requests.

If anybody can suggest how I could go about this and / or suggest some best practises toward this end I will be really appreciative.

Thanks

Regards

David

You will also need a servlet container to compile and execute the JSP's -
