This may not be the best way to do things, but its how we do it.
We have a class that reads html files & returns a string representation of
the file. This is passed to the ServletOutputStream via the println
method. There is also the facility to parameterize the html dynamically -
we use html templates with specialized tags & fill them in accordingly.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
Burt.
