Answer : How to play a video file in JSP

You can use the <OBJECT> tag in conjunction with the <EMBED> tag to show the video files. However you would need to provide the video type to the tag to enable it to show the video. You can do that by looking at the file extension and adding the relevant type in your tag programaticaly.
