JavaServer Pages, 3rd Edition

Name

<jsp:root>

Synopsis

The <jsp:root> action element can only be used as the root element in a JSP Document (a JSP page in XML syntax). In specification versions prior JSP 2.0, using a <jsp:root> element was the only way to identify a JSP page as a JSP Document, but there are now other means (see Chapter 16) to do so. Hence, the <jsp:root> element is optional and should rarely be used.

Syntax

<jsp:root version="jspVersion">
  Well-formed XML content
</jsp:root>

Attributes

Attribute name	Java type	Dynamic value accepted	Description
version	String	No	The JSP specification with which the JSP Document is compliant.

  <employee>
</jsp:root>
