XML Syntax

  Usual syntax: 

<%@ page attribute="value" %>

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

  XML equivalent: 

A.12Including Files and Applets in JSP 

Documents

Including Files at Page Translation Time

<%@ include file="Relative URL" %>

  Changing included file does not necessarily cause retranslation of JSP 

document. You have to manually change JSP document or update its 

modification date. Convenient way:

<%   Navbar.jsp modified 3/1/00   %>

<%@ include file="Navbar.jsp" %>

Including Files at Request Time

  Servlets can use 

include

 method of 

RequestDispatcher

 to 

accomplish similar result. See Section 15.3.

  Because of a bug, you must use .html or .htm extensions for included 

files used with the Java Web Server.
