It's some sort of server-side includes. Imagine, having a html-page with some content which is
constantly changing, let's say on a database-server which has subscriptions of customers. To
show the number of these on the web-page, you have several possibilities:
- change them per hand day per day (ok, no real possobility, but I've seen this too...)
- make some cgi-scripts doing this. But you have thousands of (e.g. Rexx-Scripts) say-commands
in there which do not show the source of the html-file very clearly. And isn't very speedy,
too. Imagine creating a new shell-environment for each hit for this page... Not very good.
- take advantage of some special API's of Apache or other web-servers. Fast, but imagine
changing the webserver for some reason...
- using servlets. Fine, fast, but also not that clearly html-code.
- using php. Some sort of advanced cgi which is fast, html-code is rather clean, just some
code-insets in <? ?>-Tags; but code code itself is awful. And not available on some platforms.
- using jsp. Also some special tags, running on nearly all servers, clean html-code, clean
programming code, but some lack for lazy programmers just as all NetRexx-fans. Very good,
though.
- using nrsp (NetRexx Server Pages): perfect. Lazy coding, clearly readable, clear html-code,
fast, extensible, modular and so on.... I would like something like this VERY much (not just
me alone, I hope ;-))

enough now?

Almost...
So, if I have a page of ,say parts, and I keep the prices in a DB, all I
have to do to update the page is change the db. Correct?

Or, may I also, depending on some sort of log in procedure, show different
prices to different people using the same base page?
( like for end customers, and distributors ? )

yep. Both. You can post cookies to the customer on a login-page and reload these cookies
whenever wanted while preparing data for the user, or resistributing these data (or a key,
which is more secure) with some <input type=hidden ...>-tags. They'll come back the next time
the user commits a page.

Ok?
