omg!! i coded all day without a lunch,.. even still i can't believe i overlooked that!

that's funny you bring up the string concatination bit.

i made a display class for some things like printing tables from a customer array, .. however, i was using += to concat the string and after about a thousand records or so, it was entirely too slow.

so i ended up coding everything directly into the jsp page, and using out.println instead of making a big string.

i'll be looking into the stringTokenizer.. thanks a lot!
