How to reuse a jsp code fragment like address in other jsp files

[Neelima Vemu]

Hi,

I am trying to optimize code by including common elements like address, calendar etc in a different file. I am passing in the value like a prefix .

My code looks like this. here I am referring to the credit type of payment by prefix credit. Can you tell me if this is a correct type of representation.

<c:import url="/WEB-INF/address.jsp">
			<c:param name="prefix" value="credit"/>
			<c:param name="address1" value="${tp.street1}"/>
			<c:param name="address2" value="${tp.street2}"/>
			<c:param name="city" value="${tp.city}"/>
			<c:param name="state" value="${tp.state}"/>
			<c:param name="country" value="${tp.country}"/>
			<c:param name="zipcode" value="${tp.zip}"/>
</c:import>

It'll work, but inefficiently. Creating a custom tag with a tag file would be a better approach.

Could you provide an example for the way you have specified please.
