Jacob, It sounds like your requirements preclude doing this at build time. I assume having the button to ftp a static HTML version of the report to a server somewhere means that the report has some parameters to customize the report, or at least that the report should be run at the time the user clicks the button (even if there is no configuration of the report itself).
In that case, it seems like you could have the server make a request to itself and then save the response (HTML generated by executing the JSP) in a file or just stream it directly to the ftp server that is waiting to receive it. I don't have any magic tips about converting JSP to HTML -- I would just let the server execute the JSP to convert it to HTML. If you need to strip things out (JavaScript, etc.) you may need to create a new JSP or manipulate the response to remove that stuff. -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 3:58 PM Subject: Re: JSP to static html... > > Thanks Max. This sounds very good. Your saying that automatically creating an html when the jsp is rendered sounds good. This should solve my problem. We are using websphere 5.0.
