Hi,

I created JAVA prorgamm. It works like this: I can enter some book parameters (author, name, year) and programm will write data in file and also will display data in console. Code is below in bold. Compile code below and you will understand how programm works. However I have to create several .jsp pages (web programm) using this code but I`m not so good in .jsp
First question: How can I create .jsp page where I can enter book which will be written in file and then this book parameters (name, author, year) sends out in another .jsp page?
Can someone help me with this? Thanks!
