How to plan large content display?

[kuchana kumar]

Greetings to all! My first post.

Iam planning a website.Using Jsp.
Iam stuck up in one issue.
How do I plan to store huge content storage in my website.

Query 1: Where do I store all my content? in a database(I have Mysql) or in flat files?What is the best approach for content storage on a website?

Query 2: After solving the above query, I want to display the requested page in pages, page1, page2,page3 if the requested page is of huge size. How do I code that in Jsp.

Thnx in Advance.

Depending upon the nature of the data (which you have given no inkling of) either approach may be suitable. If you will be doing extensive searching and filtering of the data, a database is probably called for.

Paging result sets has been discussed on numerous occasions in this forum. Search through the old posts for some good info on the subject.
