如何为我的jsp页面赋予动态性质？

Question

Question is pretty lame I know. And the answer is pretty simple - AJAX (I think, I'm not sure). But before proceeding further, I would like to know if there's a better way.

My problem:

I have a web application, that takes in one statement from the user, and then in response to it,sends back another statement. The whole process goes on like this. So how can I give a dynamic nature to my JSP then? If I keep reloading the JSP, my old responses will get deleted. So, that's not how it works.

I could use RequestDispatcher 's include() method. I find that as one solution. So, I can keep including the new pages onto my old JSPs. But again, I think this will have a limitation. Haven't tested it yet though.

Is there a better way around?

Thanks for your help. :-)

Answer 1

I'm in love with AJAX consuming Restful Webservices so that is what I would suggest. In addition, if I understand you correctly, I don't think include() will help you in this scenario unless you manage to keep streamming your responses in 1 open connection which isn't really ideal in most Web page scenarios.
