JSP include Directive

include Directive

The JSP include directive allows you to include the content of a web page in the current web page. The location where you insert the include directive in a web page is very important because it is at that specific location where the content of a web page is added in the current web page.

Syntax of include Directive

<%@ include file = " relative URL of the file " %>

include Directive Example

We have created a JSP web page that displays the current day, date and time, as shown below.

Date.jsp

<html>

<head>
<title>Display Date</title>
</head>


<body>

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

Current Date and Time : <%= new Date() %>

</body>

</html>

Next we have created a web page that uses include directive to include the contents of a web page Date.jsp(which displays the current date and time) at a particular location of the current web page.

IncludeExample.jsp

<html>

<head>
<title>Display Date</title>
</head>


<body>

Including the content of another page using include directive :


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

</body>

</html>

executing this JSP page includes the content of Date.jsp and displays it the user.

Another example of include directive

In this example, we are going to include a webpage with a form, using include directive.

login1.jsp

<html>

<head>
<title>Login Form</title>
</head>


<body>


<form action="login.jsp" method="post">
    <b>Username</b>
    <input type="text" name="username">
    <b>Password</b>
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>

</body>

</html>

IncludingExample2.jsp

<html>

<head>
<title>Using include directive</title>
</head>


<body>


Including the content of another page using include directive :


<%@ include file="login1.jsp" %>

</body>

</html>

executing IncludingExample2.jsp webpage displays the including contents of login1.jsp to the user.
