jsp:param not working inside jsp:include and JSF

[Florin Gheorghies]

I tried all I could figure out, as well as researched the issue. So I'd appreciate any help.

I have a jsp:include with a jsp aram inside a jsf component h anelGrid. The problem is that the param is not being passed to the included jsf page. It seems it should be a straightforward issue, but it's not to me.

p.s. my day job is not programming.

So here's the code of the including page:

========================================= jsfpage.jsp

  
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
 
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://javascript4jsf.dev.java.net/" prefix="j4j" %>
 
<f:view>
    <afh:html>
        <afh:head title="<jsp:include> hacking"/>
        <h :-P	 anelGrid columns="3" id="a1">
            <h:column id="a2">
                <jsp:include page="included.jsp">
                    <jsp :-P	 aram name="thename" value="the value<br>"/>
                </jsp:include>
            </h:column>
        </h :-P	 anelGrid>
    </afh:html>
</f:view>

============================================ included.jsp

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
 

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/EA16" prefix="af"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/EA16/html" prefix="afh"%>
 

<f:subview id="subv">
    <h :-o	 utputText value="#{param['thename']}" id="asdf" escape="true"/>
    <h :-o	 utputText value=" a value should show above" id="ddd"/>
</f:subview>

I guess that should be all?

Thanks for your advice.

JSF specificaton mentions few things about jsp:include inside a JSF page.

You can download the jsf specificiton from Sun and have a look at section 9.2.2.

Extracts

When using the <jsp:include> standard action (or the JSTL <c:import>
action) to compose a single view from multiple JSP pages, all JSF component
custom actions in included pages must be nested inside the <f:subview> custom
action from the JSF Core Tag Library (which is itself nested inside the <f:view>
custom action). The <f:subview> action itself may be present in the including
page (i.e. with the <jsp:include> or <c:import> action nested inside it), or in
the included page.

Much appreciated. I found the same info in the j2ee tutorial as well,
(http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JSFPage3.html).

Once again, I appreciate your time.
