Hi @all,

I want to use a the Apache Tiles 2 TagLib in an servlet. I mean the page which is generated uses some Tiles 2 Tags, and therefor I have to use this taglib. But how can I get this taglib in my servlet.

Code:

public class ProjectDetails extends HttpServlet {
   
    /** 
    * Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.
    * @param request servlet request
    * @param response servlet response
    */
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        try {
            
           //out.println("<%@ taglib uri=\"http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles\" prefix=\"tiles\" %>;");
           out.println("<html>" +
                        "<head>" +
                        "<meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\">" +
                        "<link href=\"css/layout.css\" type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">" +
                        " <title>AIS DCL</title>" +
                        "</head>" +
                        "<body>" +
                        "<tiles:insertDefinition name=\"aisdcl.projectAdminView\" />" +
                        "</body>" +
                        "</html>");
            
        } finally { 
            out.close();
        }
    }

This line out.println("<%@ taglib uri=\"http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles\" prefix=\"tiles\" %>;"); will not work, because the writer writes it in html and it will not get compiled or whatever. But how can I use this taglib in my servlet????

What I understand that the taglib technology is used inside a JSP file and not a Servlet. Is there other way that you can think of so that the page is not created by Servlet but simply a JSP file?

Hello wsaryada,

thank you for your reply. Actually I did like you sad. I only forgot to post my soulution here. Sorry for that. And now that I understand the jsp concept better I know that a jsp file will be always compiled to a servlet. And thats why now matter about that. And furthermore taking a jsp file is better than use this f*****g out.println("<img scr=\"blabla\"...>); (only a example

in a servlet). Thank you very much.
