embedding html in servlets

[Vinay Thippeswamy]

hi ,

iam new to servlets. Is there any utility to convert all that html into code that is compatabile to fit into out.println(). i mean with all that double quotation inserted automatically. i tried google but didnt find anything.

thanks
vinay.

A simple answer would be : don't do this in a servlet, that is not its role. Output html in html/jsp files, that will save you time and readability.

thanks,
i knew about that. i was wondering if there was such an utility.

A search and replace with regular expressions with a simple text editor ?
1. Replace the start of a line with out.print("
2. Replace the end of a line with ");

"vinay vinay",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

sorry.
i had read your naming policy. and i knew i would be warned about it.
but i have just one name and thats VINAY. since your form didnt allow me to proceed, i had no choice but to put my last name as vinay.

hey how about vinay schwarzenegger???

regards

did you try doing it with any html page???
HINT: there are some things called escape characters that need to be taken care of, if you dont then there would be 165 errors when you compile iit

You can just put html tags directly into a print statement exactly as mentioned above

rajsunder, thank you for warning about escape characters

did you try doing it with any html page???

Actually no, because I always put HTML where it ought to be : in an HTML/JSP file.
