I have a servlet that reads in a static html page and displays it via an app/web
server. I am having no problems with this part except that I would like to move a step
further and dynamically generate a populated selection box with items retirieved from
a database. I have done all these bycoding the html tags in a servlet but I would like
to read in my static 'template html' files and REPLACE/SUBSTITUTE some marker with the
generated tags i.e. <OPTIONwhatever1</OPTION> .... <OPTION>Whatever9</OPTION> etc.
What is the best practice for using substitution in a static file? SHould I create
some marker like '#replaceme#' and have the servlet change that to the required html
tags??
Thanks for any help.
