(excuse my newbi-ness) what i want to do is make a url connection (from a java application) to a .jsp file, and gather the results, for the purpose of compiling a larger html document (i don't want to forward the control to a jsp). is this a valid thing to do? obviously i can make a url connection, but can i set up a bean using this method? i apologize if this question doesn't make sense! =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
