Reusing JSF Page Code

**Lian** · 21-07-2010

I have three JSF pages that contains the same block of Code. Do you have any method through which I can be able to make one JSF page as main.jsp with the primary block of code and then use somewhat as the include tag to just use again and put the main.jsp with my another three pages. I have tagged the code in the attachment section. Please take a look .. I need put this code in a primary jSP and then just involve the tag in different JSPs where ever I need the above section to be populated. How can it be done ?Do you have any suggestion

It looks as the basic use scenario for styling of the page means page templating. In this situation, I strongly suggest you t just move from JSP to Facelets, that provides a very absolute templating fix. Sometimes users tells that "I am unable to use Facelets because it's not a standard." In JSF 1.2 it was fine, but in JSF 2.0, Facelets is in the core standard.

JSF always been executed at the server side, produces HTML output and transfers the same to the client side. JS executes at the client side and able to get and retrieve the HTML DOM series only. So,run the JSF page in your webbrowser, perform a view source and after all allow your JS code base on that. This issue is not important and associated with the JSF. This is just a lack in getting how the components works.

Hi, I am new guy for entire activities and getting on the way. But I am going with something same as to the first points explained below . I am currently making a component which can build me a form from XML dependent configuration file. In that case, you would directly work with the HtmlForm and HtmlInputText. The element that I am creating , builds the form page with the regular _expression_ validator transferred into this . It also consumes in a Bean to fill in the values in the situation of a Edit mode. The help would be appreciate if I get any feedback on customizing this type of dynamically generated forms.
