Re: JSP generating a messagebox

This is not a JSP issue per se but with server-side scripting and flow. A server detects server-side tags (JSP, ASP , CFM) on a text page and interprets them and then sends them to client. Once sent it
can't be taken back. The way to
do conditional flow is then to send one page with the messagebox and then
submit again to server with the boolean value as part of the post.
Place a form on the page that sends the boolean vale to the server to a jsp that gets the value from the submit.
