Remove all Scriplets ?? and change to tags.

Question

I have a shopping cart aproximately 2 years old that is jsp/servlet.
The jsp pages look more like servlets as they have TONS of java code in them.
The shopping cart currently has no taglibs in it, and I am in the process of re-writing all jsp pages.
Is there an easy way or good tutorial to convert these scriplets into nice tags ?? I have had success in creating simple tags to connect to database on first page, but not sure if I am going in right direction.
or do I just keep trying google till I stumble on something.??
Should I post an example jsp page of the sriplet code??

Answer 1

My brain is turned off today, having a tuff time starting it..
Here is the beginning of the shopping.jsp, first page a user would see.
<%
          shopping.jsp
     String shoppingServlet = (String) session.getAttribute("shoppingServlet");
       System.out.println("Shopping servlet path : " + shoppingServlet);
     ItemBean[] items = (ItemBean[]) session.getAttribute("items");
     String isFromCredit = (String) session.getAttribute("isFromCredit");
     Formatter formatter = new Formatter();
%>
<!--some html stuff -->
<form name='form' action='<%= shoppingServlet%>' method='post'>
<!--some more html stuff -->
<%     for (int i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
               ItemBean item = (ItemBean) items; %>
          <tr height=10>
               <td valign='middle'>
                    <a href='/shopping/description.jsp target='product'
                         onClick='window.open("/shopping/description.jsp?item=<%= item.getID()%>", "product", "toolbar=no,status=no,height=500,width=650,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no");return false'>
                         <%= item.getName() %>
                    </a>
               </td>
               <td valign='middle'>
                    <%= item.getShortDesc() %>
               </td>
               <td valign='middle' align='right'>
                    <%= item.getSize() %>
               </td>
               <td valign='middle' align='right'>
                    <%= formatter.formatMoney(Float.toString(item.getPrice())) %>
               </td>
               <td valign='middle' align='center'>
                    <input type=image src='../images/addToCart.gif' alt='Add To Cart'
                         onClick='document.form.action.value="cart", document.form.itemToAdd.value="<%= item.getID() %>"'>
               </td>
          </tr>
How do I deal with the session attributes at top of page??
How can I put that code into a servlet ??
and the for loop will just be a little work on the servlet side , right ??
