JSP help needed

[GregD]

For those who (likely) don't recognize me, I was webmaster for www.verifiedvoting.org from June 2003 to March 2004. At that time, the entire team self-destructed, and everyone went somewhat separate ways.

I just became involved in a new project, directly related to BBV, and part of the gig requires that I maintain and further-develop JSP pages. My core skills are with ASP, and I have a short timeframe on this project, so I'm having a heck of a time getting a few things to move forward.

If anyone knows JSP, and doesn't mind answering an occasional e-mail, please send me a private message and tell me how to reach you.

Thanks,
GregD

1. re: "JSP help needed"

I use JSP at work (small software company). JSP pages in themselves are fairly simple. It's the backend with Java Servlets and Java Beans where the real work is. JSP pages are basically HTML pages with calls to Java Bean elements. I use them to dynamically build HTML pages that need results from a database. I will build the HTML code in java (depending upon search results, criteria, page layout, specifications, etc.) and load the HTML code into a Bean. When the page is rendered, it will call the Bean, and render the HTML contained in the bean.

here are some decent reference sites:

2. Still need help, specifically with RSS

I'm trying to process a XML newsfeed and can't seem to find anyone that has done enough work with JSP/RSS to solve a problem that is probably a no-brainer for the right person.

Anyone know JSP & RSS?

3. RSS and JSP

although I don't have specify knoweldge of RSS, I'm actually interested in it for a project of my own.

ALso, RSS should just be a XML format so it's just DOM manipulation with Java (I am imagining) -- so I'm sure I could field questions on that.
