What is the function of action in JSP?
This action lets you insert files into the page being generated. The syntax looks like this −
<jsp:include page = "relative URL" flush = "true" />
Unlike the include directive, which inserts the file at the time the JSP page is translated into a servlet, this action inserts the file at the time the page is requested.
Following table lists out the attributes associated with the include action −
S.No. | Attribute & Description |
---|---|
1 | page The relative URL of the page to be included. |
2 | flush The boolean attribute determines whether the included resource has its buffer flushed before it is included. |
Example
Let us define the following two files (a)date.jsp and (b) main.jsp as follows −
Following is the content of the date.jsp file −
<p>Today's date: <%= (new java.util.Date()).toLocaleString()%></p>
Following is the content of the main.jsp file −
<html> <head> <title>The include Action Example</title> </head> <body> <center> <h2>The include action Example</h2> <jsp:include page = "date.jsp" flush = "true" /> </center> </body> </html>
Let us now keep all these files in the root directory and try to access main.jsp. You will receive the following output −
