Render a uix page

Question

hi,
I am just beginning to use uix pages migrating from jsp's and am woundering how to render a uix page. I 've read the developers guide but am not certain how it works as a whole. Are there any examples out there that i can look at?? apart from the dev guide?
I am not quite able to understand from the dev guide how the context is used to render the information from the java class back to a uix page and how to forward to a uix page through servlet? do I have to use uix servlet (or the controller) instead or else can i use my HttpServlet and use the doGet and doPost the same way we use to render a jsp page? can I include a uix page in a jsp page?? Anybody could please gimme an insight about this!!
regards,
vasanth

hi Arjuna,
sorry I used the bean from the session as opposed to the question asked by me about using the request servlet.
I have this problem in my jsp page. I have the bean in the session and am trying to get the info from that bean into my jsp page with uix tags.
I have the code below.
Unfortunately it is showing errors. Its a jsp page with uix form and in the Trailing list of the shuttle I have used the object from the session. Again at the bottom I 've used the <uix:xml> tag to do the same for another purpose ie., to iterate through another set of objects.
the xmlns (namespace) is posing problem. and the tag data: infront of the tag childData in the <contents> tag is also being not recognized as a valid tag when i run the jsp.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
thanks so much,
vasanth
