========================================================================
The JSP Interest Mail Forum
========================================================================ABSTRACT: __________
This is an informative document covering the conventions and usage of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
BEFORE POSTING __________________
Before asking questions of a general nature, please check out the resources available online to see if your question already has an answer and to see if this is the best place to ask it.
Please do your research. People on the list are excited and interested in the technology. They are more than happy to answer questions but they are not your personal assistants. Please show common courtesy and do your homework.
When answering questions please also use common courtesy. You are not obligated to answer a question and sometimes not answering is the best policy if you would not be making a helpful contribution.
Here is some basic information before posting:
1) Sometimes this may be the wrong forum for your discussion because it has nothing (or very little) to do with JSPs and can be better discussed elsewhere (Examples: JDBC-related questions, JavaMail queries...). For a full list of the mail forums hosted by Sun Microsystems, Inc. for Java related technologies, please check:
* http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/index.html
2) Often your question has already been discussed on this list. You can search the archives at:
* http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/jsp-interest.html
3) Check some of the extensive FAQs and documentation that has been built up by the JSP and servlet community over the last few years:
a) A great link to know about is the Sun JSP site, where you will find an introduction to the technology and links to the specifications, APIs, white papers, news and products supporting JSPs:
* http://java.sun.com/products/jsp
b) An excellent place to start learning about JSPs is the JSP chapter of the J2EE Tutorial:
* http://java.sun.com/j2ee/learning/tutorial/index.html
c) For more information on Tag Libraries:
* http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.3/tutorial/doc/JSPTags.html
d) We also have a listing of external resources you may find helpful:
* http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/resources.html
e) Some FAQs that may help you
* http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/faq.html * http://www.jguru.com/faq/home.jsp?topic=JSP
We encourage you to help out with the maintenance and growth of these faqs because people find them so useful.
LIST USAGE ____________
A few notes about the use of this list. We at Sun enjoy hosting this list to give everyone a forum to discuss JSPs and related technology. There are a few things that we ask of you, the list members:
1) If you have a question that you urgently need the answer to please remember that it is unlikely that everyone else on the list will feel as urgently about it as you do. People participate on these lists because they want to and may occasionally be irritated to get a mail in their inbox that is labeled URGENT, or URGENT HELP REQUIRED ! It may actually discourage someone from answering or following up with a discussion.
2) If you have not posted to this list before, and perhaps are a beginner in the technology and are not sure if your question is well formed it can be helpful to put [BEGINNER], NEWBIE or in the subject line.
2) Please don't engage in advertising! We like to hear when new products are announced and a link for all the information. What we don't like are lengthy press releases, advertisements, and other material which falls under the umbrella term "marketing". There is no problem in stating how your product compares to another, but remember, this isn't run by Sun to be an advertising forum -- but as a technical forum. Putting [ANN] in the subject line is a good and known convention for sending out an announcement message.
3) If you need technical support from a vendor, please contact that vendor directly.
