How do I include other pages using jsp:include?

Category: taglib / jstl, viewed: 647 time(s).

The <jsp:include/> tag is use to include another page fragment of a JSP page into another page. This is useful when you have a common page such as header, footer or a menu that applied to many of all of your pages.

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head>
    <title>&lt;jsp:include/&gt; Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
    <jsp:include page="common/header.jsp"/>
</div>

<div id="main">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit,
    sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna
    aliqua.
</div>

<div id="footer">
    <jsp:include page="common/footer.jsp"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Here are the page fragment of the header.jsp, footer.jsp and menu.jsp. All of them are placed in the common folder in the same location with the index.jsp file.

header.jsp 
<strong>&lt;jsp:include/&gt; Demo</strong>
<hr/>
<jsp:include page="menu.jsp"/>
footer.jsp 
<hr/>
&copy; 2009 Kode Java Org.
menu.jsp 
<a href="/ex01/index.jsp">HOME</a>

When you access your page from the servlet container such as Apache Tomcat you'll have a complete display of a page that contains header, menu, content and footer.
