Include Tag:

     

bean:include Tag - is used to load the response from a dynamic application request and make it available as a bean.

This tag performs an internal dispatch to the specified application component (or external URL) and makes the response data available from that request as a bean of type String.

Include  tag works similar to that of the standard <jsp:include> tag, except that the response data is stored in a page scope attribute instead of being written to the output stream. If the current request is part of a session, the generated request for the include  be part of the same session.

Name Description
anchor

Optional anchor tag ("#xxx") to be added to the generated hyperlink. Specify this value without any "#" character.

forward

This attribute specifies the logical name of a global ActionForward that contains the actual content-relative URI of the resource to be included.

href

This attribute specifies the absolute URL (including the appropriate protocol prefix such as "http:") of the resource to be included. Because this URL could be external to the current web application, the session identifier will not be included in the request.

id

This attribute specifies , the name of the scripting variable (and associated page scope attribute) that will be made available with the value of the specified web application resource.

page

Page attribute specifies Module-relative URI (starting with a '/') of the web application resource to be included.
