JavaServer Pages, Second Edition

Name

<jsp:include>

Synopsis

The <jsp:include> action includes the response from another JSP page, servlet, or static file in the same web application. The execution of the current page continues after including the response generated by the target resource.

If any response content has been buffered when the <jsp:include> action is executed, the flush attribute controls whether or not to flush the buffer.

The URI path information, available through the implicit request object, reflects the URI path information for the source JSP page even in the target resource. All other request information is also left untouched, so the target resource has access to all the original parameters and headers passed with the request. Additional parameters can be passed to the target resource through <jsp:param> elements in the <jsp:include> element’s body.

Syntax

<jsp:include page="pageOrContextRelativePath" [flush="true|false"] />
