How to display the code of a java class in a web page (jsp)

I'm developing a web page containing a list of existing java class name :

so when the user click the link of the java class name a new web page is opened containing the code of this java class . so to do it i will use a flow to read the file (java class) and write it on a web page . Have you another optimized solution ?

There is a new project called back2Code, which will decompile class files back to source code.

http://code.google.com/p/back2code/

  1. Store the class files a location in server
  2. Read the appropriate file.
  3. Use the API to decompile it to the source code.
  4. Display the source code , appropriately.

Use <c:import /> JSTL and embed the content in <pre></pre> tag.

<c:import var="content" url="File.java"/>
<pre>
 <c:out value="${content}"/>
</pre>

Just read the .java file like any other text file. Note make sure you are doing it with the .java files and not compiled .class files.

You can then optionally format it.
