This is a nasty one for me... I'm a PHP guy working in Java on a JSP project. I know how to do what I'm attempting through too much code and a complete lack of finesse. I'd prefer to do it RIGHT. :) Here is the situation: I'm writing a small display to show customers what days they can water their lawns based on their watering group...
I've recently inherited a internationalized and text-heavy Struts 1.1 web application. Many of the JSP files look like: <p> <bean:message key="alert" /> </p> and the properties files look like: messages.properties alert=Please update your <a href="/address.do">address</a> and <a href="/contact.do">contact information</a>. with ...
I am considering creating my own website using Java and am trying to decide what framework to use. However, doing a quick search for Java frameworks returns more than 50 to choose from! My website is just going to be for my own enjoyment of building it in the beginning, but if it becomes popular it would be good for it to have some scala...
Using JDeveloper, I started developing a set of web pages for a project at work. Since I didn't know much about JDev at the time, I ran over to Oracle to follow some tutorials. The JDev tutorials recommended doing JSPX instead of JSP, but didn't really explain why. Are you developing JSPX pages? Why did you decide to do so? What are the ...

I have a struts-based webapp, and I would like the default "welcome" page to be an action. The only solutions I have found to this seem to be variations on making the welcome page a JSP that contains a redirect to the action. For example, in web.xml: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> a...
I joined a new company about a month ago. The company is rather small in size and has pretty strong "start-up" feel to it. I'm working as a Java developer on a team of 3 others. The company primarily sells a service to for businesses/business-type people to use in communicating with each other. One of the main things I have been, and wi...
I will elaborate somewhat. Jsf is kind-of extremely painful for working with from designer's perspective, somewhat in the range of trying to draw a picture while having hands tied at your back, but it is good for chewing up forms and listing lots of data. So sites we are making in my company are jsf admin pages and jsp user pages. Proble...
I'm getting the following error when trying to run a jsp. I'm using Tomcat 6.0.18, and I'd like to use the latest version of jstl. What version of jstl should I use, and which URL goes with which version of jstl? I'm getting this error "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute key does not accept any expressions"...
I was looking out for a free plugin for developing/debugging JSP pages in eclipse. Any suggestions? ...
I have a .tag file that requires a javascript library (as in a .js file). Currently I am just remembering to import the .js file in every JSP that uses the tag but this is a bit cumbersome and prone to error. Is there a way to do the importing of the .js inside the JSP tag? (for caching reasons I would want the .js to be a script impo...
Embedded custom-tag in dynamic content (nested tag) not rendering. I have a page that pulls dynamic content from a javabean and passes the list of objects to a custom tag for processing into html. Within each object is a bunch of html to be output that contains a second custom tag that I would like to also be rendered. The problem is th...
I have a list of bean objects passed into my JSP page, and one of them is a comment field. This field may contain newlines, and I want to replace them with semicolons using JSTL, so that the field can be displayed in a text input. I have found one solution, but it's not very elegant. I'll post below as a possibility. ...

This one has been bugging me for a while now. Is there a way I can stop Intellj IDEA from reporting missing keys in tags? My messages are not stored in property files so the issue does not apply in my case. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 7.0.4 ...
hi, is there a way to substring in JSP files, using struts2 technologies? I mean, struts2 has its own taglib and also uses ognl. How can I get a substring from a stacked value or bean value? thanks in advance. stv ...
On a JSTL/JSP page, I have a java.util.Date object from my application. I need to find the day after the day specified by that object. I can use <jsp:scriptlet> to drop into Java and use java.util.Calendar to do the necessary calculations, but this feels clumsy and inelegant to me. Is there some way to use JSP or JSTL tags to achieve th...
I am pulling a long timestamp from a database, but want to present it as a Date using Tags only, no embedded java in the JSP. I've created my own tag to do this because I was unable to get the parseDate and formatDate tags to work, but that's not to say they don't work. Any advice? Thanks. ...
