Does MII support JSP/Servlets? Does MII officially support basic UI constructs of a typical J2EE web app like JSP/Servlets, etc?

Hi Ajay,

Being a J2EE developer I had exactly the same question. There are rough equivalents.

With MII the equivalent of a jsp is a irpt.

The equivalent of the <% %> server side code blocks would be the SERVLET tag in the irpt. The SERVLET will call a MII server side BLS query. The query may call a BLS transaction. Then if you use xsl in the SERVLET tag to transform the xml output from the query you can create dynamic HTML.

So, the basic difference between MII irpt and jsp is that the logic that would go in a jsp code block on the page is done in BLS and xsl.

At least that is how I am accomplishing it. And I am able to accomplish a fully functional application. dynamic data, css, jquery, ajax, and all that good stuff.
