Include Tag:

bean:include Tag - is used to load the response from a dynamic application request and make it available as a bean.

This tag performs an internal dispatch to the specified application component (or external URL) and makes the response data available from that request as a bean of type String.

Include tag works similar to that of the standard <jsp:include> tag, except that the response data is stored in a page scope attribute instead of being written to the output stream. If the current request is part of a session, the generated request for the include be part of the same session.

Name	Description
anchor	Optional anchor tag ("#xxx") to be added to the generated hyperlink. Specify this value without any "#" character.
forward	This attribute specifies the logical name of a global `ActionForward` that contains the actual content-relative URI of the resource to be included.
href	This attribute specifies the absolute URL (including the appropriate protocol prefix such as "http:") of the resource to be included. Because this URL could be external to the current web application, the session identifier will not be included in the request.
id	This attribute specifies , the name of the scripting variable (and associated page scope attribute) that will be made available with the value of the specified web application resource.
page	Page attribute specifies Module-relative URI (starting with a '/') of the web application resource to be included.

Example Illustrating the use of the Include<bean:include> tag.

Here you will learn to use the Struts Html bean:include tags.
We will cover an example that will show a working of<bean:include> tags

Example code   :
Creating an Action Class                                                 : Not Required here.
Creating Form Bean                                                        : Not Required here.
Defining the global-forwards                                          : Not Required here.
Developing the Action Mapping in the struts-config.xml    : Not Required here.

Developing the beanIncludeTag.jsp page:


<%@page contentType="text/html"%>

<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>

<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html" prefix="html" %>

<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic" prefix="logic" %>

<html>

    <head>

        <title>Demo Of struts-bean:include Tag</title>

    </head>

     <body bgcolor="#999933">

        <div align="center">

            <h2><font color="#33FF33">struts-bean:include Tag Demo</font></h2>

        </div>

        <bean:include id="IncludePageOutput" page="/IncludePage.jsp" />

        <table border="2">

        <tr><td><p><font color="#33FF33">

            Display the contents returned by invoking

              
</p>

                 
</font>

          </td>

       </tr>



        <tr><td>

            <pre><bean:write name="IncludePageOutput"/></pre>

        </td></tr>

    </body>

</html>

Add the following line in the index.jsp to call the form.


<a href="beanIncludeTag.jsp">beanIncludeTagDemo</a><br/>
