I need to put in jsp file many times a set of HTML tags which are
differencing from each other with only one word. I thought about writing
some JSP function and then call the function with the differencing word
as parameter. I encountered some problems creating the function so I
ended with messy
<jsp:include page=
<jsp:param name=
but I still dream about some cute function.
Example:
<input type="radio" name="English" value="0" checked>
<input type="radio" name="English" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="English" value="2">
<input type="radio" name="English" value="3">
<input type="radio" name="Otherlanguage" value="0" checked>
<input type="radio" name="Otherlanguage" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="Otherlanguage" value="2">
<input type="radio" name="Otherlanguage" value="3">
I have a set of radioboxes, four for each language. Say I have about 100
languages to display, so I would need about 400+ lines of code written
by hand :-(
My solution is:
---file1.jsp---
<input type="radio" name="<%= request.getParameter("language")%>"
value="0" checked>
<input type="radio" name="<%= request.getParameter("language")%>"
value="1">
<input type="radio" name="<%= request.getParameter("language")%>"
value="2">
<input type="radio" name="<%= request.getParameter("language")%>"
value="3">
---end of file1.jsp---
--file2.jsp---
<jsp:include page="file1.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="language" value="English"/>
</jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="file1.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="language" value="Otherlanguage"/>
</jsp:include>
---end of file2.jsp---
This is more convenient but still time consuming.
I think some function like this would be better:
<%!
void langRadio(String language) {
out.print("<input type=\"radio\" name=\"" + language + "\"
value=\"0\" checked>");
out.print("<input type=\"radio\" name=\"" + language + "\"
value=\"1\">");
out.print("<input type=\"radio\" name=\"" + language + "\"
value=\"2\">");
out.print("<input type=\"radio\" name=\"" + language + "\"
value=\"3\">");
}
%>
but this will not compile. I get:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for
JSP/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/work/localhost_8080%2Fdotaznik/_0002fdotaznik_0002ejspdotaznik_jsp_84.java:23:
Undefined variable or class name: out
out.print("");
Comments, help and suggestions very welcomed. Thanx.
