A couple of questions for the group:
1) Is it possible to access the HttpServletRequest object from within a
JavaBean in a JSP page without passing it in explicitly with a method
such as <% bean.processRequest(request); %>?
2) What is the best/cleanest way to gain access to the real path to a
resource from within a JavaBean in a JSP page? I am familiar with
the ServletContext.getRealPath(virtualPath) method, but, as with
#1 above, would rather not have to get the real path within the JSP
page and pass it into the bean if there is a way to do it without
using a scriptlet. My ultimate goal here is to read a list of image
files from a local directory and display them randomly for each
request.
Thanks in advance,
