<c:import> Tag

The <c:import> tag provides all the functionality of the <jsp:include> action tag, while also allowing the inclusion of absolute URLs.

For example, you can use the <c:import> tag to include content from different web pages on an FTP server.

Syntax

&lt;c:import
   url="<string>"
   var="<string>"
   scope="<string>"
   varReader="<string>"
   context="<string>"
   charEncoding="<string>"/>

The <c:import> tag has the following attributes:

Attribute	Description	Required	Default Value

context	Specifies the name of the resource when using a relative path to access external context resources	No	Current application
