Pete > Does JSP have an analogue to the application.cfc file?
No, at least not a standard analogue (some JSP containers like JRun have/had a non-standard thing called global.jsa.) You can initialise simple global variables using web.xml. > Any other tips for a CF guy teaching himself JSP? I'm using Apache Tomcat. Take a look at tag libraries (taglibs), Struts and Hibernate. A JSP app written using taglibs looks remarkably like a CF application - not surprisingly, since taglibs were invented by people from Allaire, I believe.
