JSP provides a bunch of standard action tags that we can use for specific tasks such as working with java bean objects, including other resource, forward the request to other resource etc.
The following is the list of Standard Actions in JSP.
| JSP Action | Description |
| jsp:getProperty | To get the property of a java bean, used with jsp:useBean action. |
| jsp:useBean | To get the java bean object from given scope or to create a new object of java bean. |
| jsp:setProperty | To set the property of a java bean object, used with jsp:useBean action. |
| jsp:include | To include a resource at runtime, can be HTML, JSP or any other file |
| jsp:body
|
To define the dynamically generated XML element body |
| jsp:forward | To forward the request to another resource. |
| jsp:text
|
To write template text in JSP page. |
| jsp:element | To define the XML elements dynamically. |
| jsp:attribute | To define the dynamically generated XML
element attributes |
| jsp:plugin | To generate the browser-specific
code that makes an OBJECT or EMBED tag for the Java plugin. |
Some important action tags with example here...
example: jsp forword action
|
<html> <body> <jsp:forward page="pass.jsp"/> </body> <html> |
In the above exampe we use the Standard Tag "<jsp:forward page" to redirect to the "pass.jsp" page.
example: jsp include action
Like include page directive this action is also used to insert a JSP file in another file.
syntax:
<jsp:include page="page URL" flush="Boolean Value" />
Example:
|
<html> <head> <title>Demo of JSP include Action Tag</title> </head><body> <h3>JSP page: Demo Include</h3> <jsp:include page="test.jsp" flush="false" /> </body></html> |
