I am using Tiles within my web-application. I have a standard-layout (standard.jsp) within the tiles are used. On top of the standard.jsp are a lot of includes, concerning tag-libraries and such.

Let’s do a simplified example.

standard.jsp:

<%@ page language='java' contentType='text/html; charset=UTF-8' pageEncoding='UTF-8'%> <%@ include file='/WEB-INF/jsp/includes/include.jsp' %>  <html>  <head>     <tiles:insertAttribute name='head' flush='false'/> </head>  <body>     <tiles:insertAttribute name='body' flush='false'/> </body>      </html>

body.jsp:

<div id='body-div'>     <p>Hello, <c:out value='${forname}' />!</p> </div>

This prints:

Hello, !

In the tiles I would like to use the tags, but it’s not working. It only works, if I add the includes to the tile-jsp.

body.jsp with includes:

<%@ include file='/WEB-INF/jsp/includes/include.jsp' %>  <div id='body-div'>     <p>Hello, <c:out value='${forname}' />!</p> </div>

This prints:

Hello, John!

Is there a better way to do this or do I have to add all includes to every jsp used?

  1. You don’t need ALL includes to be present in each of your tiles, but each used tag-library in a tile must specifically be included in the using tile.

    eg : In your example, each tile using the C JSTL library should at least have the <%@ taglib uri='http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core' prefix='c' %> include
