Here's a boiled down version of my code.
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
{
String cmd = request.getParameter("cmd");
if (cmd == null || cmd.equals(""))
{
ExportHTML(request, response, filePath + "default.htm");
}
else if (cmd.equals("load"))
{
String pgName = request.getParameter("pg");
if (pgName == null || pgName.equals(""))
{
System.out.println("page is missing or empty!!!");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Outputing page: " + pgName);
ExportHTML(request, response, filePath + pgName +
".htm");
}
}
else if (cmd.equals("search"))
{
}
}
ExportHTML() is a function that reads in a html file and outputs it to the
client.
