Taglibs and included pages
I'm seeing some strange (or maybe intended) behavior with taglibs and included files. Here's what I do: %@ taglib prefix=bean uri=/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld % %@ taglib prefix=html uri=/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld % Normal JSP/HTML stuff... html:form action=/action.do style=margin-botton:0m TABLE jsp:include page=/Common/foo1.jsp/ !-- Page specific rows go here -- /TABLE HR TABLE jsp:include page=/Common/foo2.jsp/ !-- More page specific rows here -- /TABLE /html:form More standard jsp/html (foo1 and foo2 just contain table rows but do use the struts bean tag.) The problem is with the two include files. If I don't repeat the % taglib declarations in the included files, they don't work. It seems to me that once the libs are declared, that declaration should hold for the remainder of the page. I'm sure I'm missing something here, and I'm looking for enlightenment. Any info is appreciated. Cheers, Bryan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

When you include files with %@ include %, they are incorporated into the source file, and you wouldn't need to re-declare taglibs with %@ taglib %. However, jsp:include lets you include full, stand-alone pages (and other resources). More formally, jsp:include includes a separate translation unit, so the target page will still need its own declarations. -- Shawn Bayern Author, JSP Standard Tag Library http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Taglibs and included pages - correction
As opposed to what I say below, leaving the %@ taglib declarations out of foo1 is ok - it displays fine. Thanks, Bryan -Original Message- From: Bryan P.

I'm sure I'm Bryan missing something Bryan here, and I'm looking for enlightenment. It helps to understand how the JSP include action works, as opposed to the include directive. Your main JSP and your included JSP pages are all compiled into individual servlets. They have to be able to work independently (even if they're generating only a fragment of the output). The include action happens at execution time, whereas the include directive happens at compile time. You could get away with leaving out the taglib declarations in the included pages if they were included with the directive, but not if they were included with the action. -- === David M.
