Hello!
I have a bunch of pages I want to include in a framework. The code for the
framework is in the template.jsp file shown below. Subpages can set
miscellaneus properties for the framework via request.setAttribute(), for
example a title property for the <TITLE> tag.
I wonder, is this a bad design? Are there any better ones?
-------------------
template.jsp
<%
String title = (String)request.getAttribute("title");
if (title == null) {
title = "Default Title";
}
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE><%= title %></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
start of template
<BR>
<%
// INSERT HERE
String include = (String)request.getAttribute("include");
if (include != null) {
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = application.getRequestDispatcher(include);
if (dispatcher != null) {
out.flush();
dispatcher.include(request, response);
}
}
%>
<BR>
end of template
</BODY>
</HTML>
--------------------------
subpage.jsp
<%
String uri = request.getRequestURI();
String include = (String)request.getAttribute("include");
if (include == null) {
request.setAttribute("title", "Subpage title");
request.setAttribute("include", uri);
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
application.getRequestDispatcher("/template.jsp");
if (dispatcher != null) {
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
return;
}
%>
<BR>This is a subpage...<BR>
--------------------------
(Since this is a lot of code (subpage.jsp) to include in each page, I should
put it in a bean method.)
Any help is VERY, VERY much appreciated!
