Description

One question raised at the Sydney Java Users Group was does Click support JSP.

The importance of this being for supporting important JSP taglibs, e.g. DisplayTag or existing JSP/Tag code. Or as detailed by one of the group members:

"One thought I had was co-existence. For example, one of the attractions of
spring was that I could easily co-exist struts and spring and if I so
desired mix the MVC web between the two. Whilst this is not optimal,
perhaps a sentence in your FAQ about how easy/hard it is to migrate from
struts slowly via co-existence might be useful."

After some playing around I realized Click does support JSP by simply forwarding to the JSP page.

public void onGet() {
List customers = CustomerDAO.getCustomers();
getContext().setRequestAttribute("customers", customers);

setForward("customers-table.jsp");
}

An Click Examples page demonstrating JSP integration should be included. Also the Pages and FAQ documention should be updated to detail how to do this.
