The contentType Attribute of page Directive In JSP
This section gives you the best illustration about the contentType
attribute of the page directive in JSP. This attribute specifies the MIME
type and the character encoding i.e. used for the JSP response. The default MIME
type is "text/html" and the default character set is
"ISO-8859-1". You can also specify other.
In this section, two JSP files have been provided for
showing different result after setting the different values of the contentType
attribute of the page directive in JSP. Here, the value of the attribute in the
ContentTypeAttribute1.jsp is "text/html". So, the page shows a table
in the html format while the value of the attribute in the
ContentTypeAttribute2.jsp is "text/xml". So, the
ContentTypeAttribute2.jsp shows the complete html code of the jsp file in the
xml format.
Here is the JSP code of ContentTypeAttribute1.jsp
file:
<%@page contentType="text/html" %>
<html>
<head><title>Example of contextType attribu
te of page directive in JSP.</title></head>
<body>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="ffff00">
<tr>
<td><strong>This is the html page.</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
|
Output of the ContentTypeAttribute1.jsp file:
Here is the JSP code of ContentTypeAttribute2.jsp
file:
<%@page contentType="text/xml" %>
<html>
<head><title>Example of contextType attribute
of page directive in JSP.</title></head>
<body>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="ffff00">
<tr>
<td><strong>This is the xml page.</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
