A.12. Including 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

• <jsp:include page="Relative URL" flush="true" />

• 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.
