In the HTTPServlet world, the servlet container gives my servlet the
chance build a response based around the '304 Not Modified' message,
via a long valued integer specifying a last modified time
(getLastModified()). Great stuff, invaluable for servlets which
format some data once and then serve it forever.
Hmm, now I'm into JSP, if I have a JSP page with static HTML and a
single <jsp:include> of a servlet, there seems no way for the JSP page
implementation class to handle this notion of lastModified().
Hmm, the HttpJspPage doesn't even extend HttpServlet so I guess this
functionality isn't planned?
I have perused the JSP 1.1 spec, nothing.
I'm tempted to wrap all my JSP pages inside servlets, using
requestDispatcher.includes()s, so I'll get the 304 options back...
Anyone any comments?
