Is there a way to "Include" an action result or Servlet result in a base JSP page?

[Nagesh Rachakonda]

I have a base JSP in which I need to include the content from the result of an action/servlet...

How I can accomplish this?

This is similar to the portal home (like my yahoo home page) where different gadgets sit in one home page... (is our goal)....

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sure. The include action (not directive) can reference any active resource in your web app.

But.... that's not a great way to do things in a JSP. A custom action (tag) would be much better suited.

What I do in cases like these is to factor out the common processing into a separat class that can be used either from a servlet or from a custom tag in a JSP without having to repeat any code.

You are right!

Using JSTL's custom tags, we can achive this!

In the JSP place:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>

<c:import url="Action_NAME" context="WEB_CONTEXT"/>

Thanks
