Using JSP with servlets

[Chris Patton]

Is there any way to embed the return (via the PrintWriter) from a servlet into a web page?
More specifically, I'd like to be able to mimic the Server-Side include command #exec.
I have tried using #exec with the servlet but it doesn't work.

Thanks!

I would have the servlet create a JavaBean with the results and place it in the HttpSession object. Then a JSP page would use a <jsp:useBean> tag and corresponding <%=bean.getThis()%> expressions to produce the desired results...

This is exactly what the <jsp:include> tag is for:

<jsp:include page='/servlets/ugh' flush='true'/>

or if you need to pass parameters in:

<jsp:include page='/servlets/ugh' flush='true'>
 <jsp [img]http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]aram name='something' value='something else'>
</jsp:include>

Give it a try.
