Question

Hey folks, ok so this is my problem, I need to display HTML code in a jsp, which wouldn’t be a problem, except a requirement for this project is that we place all the code in a public class file and have seperate methods for each chunk(header, sidebar footer, etc). Now here’s where i’m confused:

“Your method should take the PrintWriter as a parameter to print out each line of HTML, and should have a return type of void”

What does that mean? How do I pass the PrintWriter into a method?
Does this make sense to anyone?

Answer 1

Your question is far from clear, but it sounds like you need to write code like this:

public void writeHeader(PrintWriter out)
{
    ...
}

public void writeSidebar(PrintWriter out)
{
    ...
}

public void writeFooter(PrintWriter out)
{
    ...
}
