True but.... if the css file is used throughout the site, it's fetched once using <link ... /> on the first page view. Every page view after that will just check status, using the pre-cached one if it hasn't changed on the server. Efficency comes when the resource is re-used for all the pages using a single skin.

Yes...

What you can also do is include your styles, before it goes to the browser, if say you have
styles for each page... ie not caching

eg:

<style>

<%@ include file="/style.just_styles" %>

</style>

now the browser will only do 1 trip to the server....

...... u c .... tomcat is very good ;)

Given that jsps are seen on the client as HTML files, yes -- all you want. I would go further and say it's encouraged as the primary means of decorating your pages.

Just do something like this in your jsp to make sure the css is always found:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/path/to/your.css" />

The example above is using the el expression language so be sure your webapp's web.xml file is declared with the servlet spec version 2.4 schema.

Can I use .css files with .jsp's, particularly when they are being served up by Tomcat 5.5? Or do they only work with static html files?

TIA!
