    JAVA SERVER PAGES

    Directives
    Directives
     Directives are instructions from the JSP to the
    container that can be used to set the page properties,
    to import Java classes and packages, and to include
    external web pages and custom tag libraries.

     The three directives are:


     Page
     Include
     taglib
    Page directive
    The page directive starts with <%@ page and will be applied
    during the servlet-generation process only to the current
    page. It’s used with such attributes as import, extends,
    session, errorPage, and contentType.
    For example, an equivalent of the Java import statement
    looks like this:
    <%@ page import=”java.io.*” %>
    With servlets, set the type of the output by code like
    response.setContentType(“text/html”).
    The JSP version of this code is shown here:
    <%@ page contentType=”text/html” %>
    Now consider the following example:
    Import attribute in page directive
    <%@page import="java.util.Date" %>
    <head>
    <title>Page Directive - import</title>
    </head>
    <body> <a>Date is:</a>
    <%= new java.util.Date() %>
    </body>
    </html>
    The include directive
     Include—The include directive adds modularity to JSP
    by allowing to include the contents of external pages
    in JSP.
     JSP "include directive“ is used to include one file to the
    another file. This included file can be HTML, JSP, text
    files, etc.
     It is also useful in creating templates with the user
    views and break the pages into header footer and
    sidebar actions.
     It includes file during translation phase
    Include directive – Example program
    <%@ include file="directive_header_jsp3.jsp" %>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Include Directive </title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a>This is the main file</a>
    </body>
    </html>
    directive_header_jsp3.jsp
    <html>
    <body>
    <a>Header file : </a>
    <%int count =1; count++;
    out.println(count);%> :
    </body>
    </html>
    Taglib directive
    • Taglib—the Taglib directive is used for Custom Tag
    Libraries. This directive allows the JSP page to use
    custom tags written in Java.
    • Custom tag definitions are usually defined in a
    separate file called as Tag Library Descriptor.
    • For the current JSP to use a custom tag, it needs to
    import the tag library file which is why this directive is
    used.
    • Following is how taglib directive is used.
    • <%@ taglib uri=”location of definition file”
    prefix=”prefix name” %>
