JSP Page directives
Case : Want to use Java Date() to display current date on JSP page:
Way 1: add in the existing page directive :
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8" import="java.util.Date" %><%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8" import="java.util.Date" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
Current date :
<%= new Date() %>
</body>
</html>
Way 2: add a separate import statement :
<%@ page import="java.util.Date" %><%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
Current date :
<%= new Date() %>
</body>
</html>CASE : To include other JSP pages (header and footer):
<%@ include file="/Header.jsp"%><%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<%@ include file="/Header.jsp"%>
Current date :
<%=new Date()%>
</body>
</html>
