Purpose: Hands-on experience with JSPs (and get ready to start working on Assignment 9)

For this exercise, you will implement a JSP to display a blank form for the user to enter his/her information. The JSP will replace displayform.html. The form then submits the user's data entry to a displayform servlet (from in-class exercise 8).

In your JSP, you should

• Declare a variable named "url" with an intial value "http://apps-swe432.vse.gmu.edu:8080/swe432/servlet/uprapham.displayform"
  Note: alternatively, if you choose to submit the form to your servlet (from in-class exercise 8), the url value will be the url to your servlet.
• Specify the action attribute in the <form> tag using a JSP expression tag.

• How do you embed java code into html?
• How is content generated dynamically?
• How does a JSP become a servlet?
• Where do corresponding servlet java file and servlet class file locate?

Optional:

• Use a JSP include action to include include.html into your JSP page (<jsp:include page="include.html" />)
• Use a JSP include action to include date.jsp into your JSP page (<jsp:include page="date.jsp" flush="true" />)
• Consider what is the difference between these JSP include actions

Put your name and "SWE 432 - In-class exercise 9" on the screen. If you work with a partner, put both names on the screen. Please follow the JSP deployment instruction to deploy your JSP. Submit your in-class exercise by placing a link to it on Piazza.
