[OT] Re: JavaScript/JSP Question
This question is not tomcat specific so I'm marking [OT].
I believe Javascript has the same startsWith/endsWith string
functionality that Java has.
You should be able to simulate that pretty easily.

js also has full regular expression support through the RegExp class
and the String.match function. Although that's might be a more difficult
choice for exactly emulating the database LIKE function as all the other
regexp features would need to be escaped.
