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.
