Feature Article: Justifying Java Server Pages - by George Rogers Posted 06/04/01 Creating web site forms using Java Server Pages (JSP) to collect and distribute data is becoming increasingly popular. In this article I will try to explain the process of determining which form generator to use. The collection and distribution of data within a medical or educational institution has become regulated by both FERPA and HIPAA government regulations. The new laws govern how the information is collected, distributed, accessed, stored and backed-up. Most of the computer technology required to become compliant with both FERPA and HIPAA are in the process of being developed or implemented. There are lots of methods used to created forms today. Some of them include FrontPage Extensions, Active Server Pages, CGI or Perl scripting, Java and many more. What is used is based on the hardware available, operating systems installed, and the level of security required on the web server.

Web Page Highlights This section will highlight a web site with a specific feature in mind as a "Best Practice" method. Look for it in the coming days. Keeping Web Site Content Current by George Rogers Any web site is only as good as the information it contains. Keeping published information current is an ongoing battle for most web authors. This is why it is best to organize your web site directory structure by function. Create separate directories for the following examples; calendars, newsletters, events, images by function, sub groups within departments, and more. Organize the web site directories to make it easy to navigate and find information. Create a structure only 2 to 3 levels deep. A wider structure is easier to maintain than a deep one. Remember: Your web site is being viewed by a World Wide audience. Posted 05/21/01 Daily News Highlights Confusion
