How do I pass information from a servlet to a JSP page

Question

Is it possible to have a servlet that contains an object (an ArrayList in this case) that then does the equivalent of displaying a jsp page and passing that object to the js

Answer 1

If you are trying to make some kind of "component" then it's better to convert the JSP page into a custom tag. Here is excellent article about that: http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/05/12/jsp2part4.html
