I have a few
HTML files that I'd like
to include via tags in my webapp.
Within some of the files, I have pseudo-dynamic code - specially formatted bits of text that, at runtime, I'd like
to be resolved
to their respective bits of data in a MySQL table.
For instance, the
HTML file might include a line that says:
Welcome, [username].
I want this resolved
to (via a logged-in user's data):
Welcome,
[email protected].
This would be simple
to do in a JSP file, but requirements dictate that the files will be created by people who know basic
HTML, but not JSP. Simple text-tags like this should be easy enough for me
to explain
to them, however.
I have the code set up
to do resolutions like that for strings, but can anyone think of a way
to do it across files? I don't actually need
to modify the file on disk - just load the content, modify it, and output it w/in the containing JSP file.
I've been playing around with trying
to load the files into strings via the apache readFileToString, but I can't figure out how
to load files from a specific folder within the webapp's content directory without hardcoding it in and having
to worry about it breaking if I deploy
to a different system in the future.
