HFSJ Mock Exam

which jsp code would you use to include a static content in a jsp?

1. <%@ include file ="/footer.html" %>
2. <jsp:include page="/footer.html/>

Both 1 & 2 are correct. I think option 2 is for dynamic content. So option 2 should be wrong answer right?

Hi,

I think it is that the include directive pastes in the source of the included file at translation time (very static) whereas the <jsp:include> action makes a runtime call to the included resource, picking up any dynamic content but at a performance penalty.

You could use either, but I guess you would use the include directive for better performance if you knew the included content would not change.

Cheers,

Paul

Yes Paul even I know the reason but since it was given static inclusion I thought <%@ include> is more appropriate.

footer page is html not jsp. mostly html will have only static contents.

so both the answers are correct.

Since the file to be included in both the cases are html, option 1 and 2 are correct. Because in html there is no dynamic content.

As per the Rule
include directive- Support static at translation time
include action - Supports static and dynamic content at runtime.
So you can use both.They did not ask you as performance wise ,which one you would use. So you can mark both as correct.
