one more thing.... the purpose of my original post was also to flesh out in my
own mind the JSP "model 2" flow.+ performance with regards to HTML/code
separation....... My understanding is that in the JSP model 2, a servlet takes a
requests, goes to the database to fetch some rows, encapsulates them in a bean
and then somehow calls a JSP page which uses macro template language to format
the bean into html......
compare this to a servlet reading in a template at init time (Once), and parsing
the macro variables/constructs (Once)..... and then anytime it gets a request
and fetches DB rows, it simply does variable substitution on the template and
outputs it....
Please enlighten me...
