Listing 13 - Concatenate current date and time to the parameter string.
long theDate = new Date().getTime(); parameters = parameters + "item=" + theDate;response.setContentType("text/html");%%>

Listing 13 also sets the output content type to "text/html" .

Finally, Listing 13 signals the end of the scriptlet that began in Listing 11 .

Create the hyperlink

Listing 14 uses a JSP expression tag along with raw HTML code to create the hyperlink shown near the top of the page in Figure 2 .

Listing 14 - Create the hyperlink.

Missing Figure

Listing 14 also uses raw HTML code to create the line of text that appears immediately above the list of dates in Figure 2 .

Display the list of dates

Listing 15 shows another scriptlet containing pure Java code. The first six lines of code display the historical date and time information. The next line of codedisplays the current date and time.

Listing 15 - Display the list of dates.
<% if(items != null){for(int i = 0; i<items.length; i++){ long millis = Long.parseLong(items[i]); out.println("" + new Date(millis) + "<br/>"); }//end for loop}//end if out.println("" + new Date(theDate) + "<br/>"); out.println("</body></html>"); %%>

The last line of code creates the HTML elements necessary to finish the page.

A choice

I could have broken this scriptlet into two or more scriptlets using raw HTML code in between to display the material. However, I decided that it was simplerin this case to use Java println statements to display the material than it would have been to break it up and use interspersed HTML code.

Run the programs

I encourage you to copy the code from Listing 16 and Listing 17 . Install the programs on your server and run them. Experiment with the code,making changes, and observing the results of your changes. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as they do.
