I have created a web site specifically aimed at teaching technical writers how
to use JavaServer Pages to enhance online documentation for users. It includes
things such as customizing the content of the help based on the user.
JSP is "tacked onto" whatever help-production system you choose, be it
eHelp's/Quadralay's/whoever's web-based help or your own HTML solution, rather
than replacing the content-generating application.
If you have any JSP-specific questions, please feel free to contact me
directly.
