(If you used a MVC framework, you would create a Bean (that you unit test) that had a DAO (that talked to LDAP. Then you can use any View you wanted)

I am writing an application that will Access an LDAP Directory Server
The directory has many, many attributes and an attribute may be a single element or an array of elements.
Using an entry of the type- employee we have this example.
Example: A phone number attribute will store as many phone numbers as needed. Cost Center element will always have just a single value.
My problem is this. I can create a java class for each attribute that i need to use and my class can have a method such as "writeHTML()" which returns HTML text to display the attribute on a web page.
In doing this, I don't have to code the HTML tag for this on every page in my web app that needs to display this attribute. I can simply call the writeHTML method from the class and have the same code throught the APP.
It would seem to me that a servlet is a better choice for implmenting a view.
Question 1. if my writeHTML() method returns HTML with struts tags will, the struts tags be evaluated properly.
Question 2 can u do this in a JSP page:
<%=
"<html:text property=\"" + fld_nme + "\" "
+ " value=\"" + fld_val + "\">";
%>
