Using JSPs and Servlets in Stellent
Apress eBooks · 2006
JSPs are the primary choice for Content Server developers who want to write custom pages, but do not want to use IdocScript. Using JSPs gives you more control because Java allows a web developer to do more than standard IdocScript. You can even extend the JSP support with custom Servlets, tag libraries, or third-party JSP frameworks. Using JSPs does not limit your abilities to use Content Server resources. You can still execute service requests, run IdocScript functions, and include Content Server resources from your JSP. This is mostly important when you want to create check-in or search pages with JSPs, but you still want them to be configurable with the Content Server administration applets. Whichever you choose, IdocScript or JSP, the Content Server gives you a powerful framework for running custom applications.
