3.8 Returning General Content: Content.jsp

If  you  installed  webMathematica  as  described  

above

,  you  should  be  able  to  connect  to  this  JSP  via

http://localhost:8080/webMathematica/Examples/Content.jsp.  (You  may  have  some  other  URL  for  accessing  your

server.)

All of the examples up to this point return HTML to the browser, but the web can work with general content involv 

ing  many  different  formats.  MSPReturn  is  provided  to  allow  an  MSP  to  return  arbitrary  content.  Here  is  an

example  that  demonstrates  how  different  formats  can  be  returned.  The  source  is  in  webMathematica/ 

Examples/Content.jsp  and  webMathematica/WEB INF/Applications/ExampleUtilities/ 

Content.m.

First, here is the source.

<%@ page language="java"  %>

<%@ taglib uri="/webMathematica taglib" prefix="msp" %>

This example takes a format type and converts a notebook into 

this format type.  It returns the converted notebook.  

If[ MSPValueQ[ $$button],

Get[ "ExampleUtilities Content "];

MSPReturn @@ GeneralContent[ $$button]]

Please select a format:
