Hi -
I think it would be better to use java.io.File.separator (which will be
identical to file.separator, but is clearer and compile-time checked for
typos (as opposed to the string file.separator )).

do is simply add content to the application.
The typical way to add content is also rather static -- add it to the WAR
and redeploy.
That's not particularly dynamic tho, and doesn't really facilitate changing
content
for changes. Don't take this as gospel
though, this is a hazy half-remembered bit of info.

Could you instead store the JSP in a database?
Let's say you have a table with the following structure:
jsp_nameString
jsp_content BLOB
jsp_name is your primary key and is literally a JSP name.
Now, create a servlet filter that examines the path that was requested
and pulls out

Now, get the BLOB from the database based on that JSP name. Convert the
BLOB to a string and stick it in request, then forward to a JSP that is
the

And that's an easy choice to make :)
