Can i use Studio Creator to mainain existing JSP pages?

Hello,A while ago i used Studio Creator to build a JSF application and really like the visual JSP tool that comes with it.What i'm wondering is if i would be able to use Creator's visual JSP tool to maintain the JSP pages for older legacy systems?Thanks very much!

Sorry, but not really. The visual designer in Creator works with JSF components and so it knows how they behave. But that's not true in such a way for plain JSP pages.

Try to use NetBeans (www.netbeans.org) for your plain jsp pages.

I hope this explains it a bit.

Thanks,

Hello,

I downloaded NETBEANS and have been trying to import some very basic .jsp programs from an older SAM's Javaserver Pages book, but i keep getting an error from NB saying it's looking for an WEB-INF file.

I quess i'm wondering if NB should be able to configure that file for me based on those .jsp files, or do i need to figure out how to create that WEB-INF file first?

Thanks again!

I just realized i should probably be in the NETBEANS forum now, so i'll switch over after this post:

I just put a blank WEB-INF file into my direcotory of book examples .jsps and was able to load those .jsps to NB, but now it's telling me:

"web.xml" file cannot be found in ..../WEB-INF, it may have been removed......."

So now i'm wondering if there is an NB tool to create that web.xml file ? or is that something that needs to be generated manually?

Thanks again and i'll move to the NETBEANS forum next time!

I think the better way for you would be to simply create a new Web Project in NB and then copy/move your *.jsp's into <project>/web/...That should give you all the needed files etc.I hope this helps.Thanks,-- Marco
