Passing Parameters In Included Page: Struts2

<s:include> tag includes a servlet’s output (result of servlet or a JSP page).

One can also pass the parameters while including a page/servlet using <s:param> tag as follows

<s:include value="/WEB-INF/pages/include/menu.jsp">
    <s:param name="tabName">aboutus</s:param>
</s:include>

How to access the parameters passed in included page

For accessing the parameter ‘tabName’ in menu.jsp, one can use Expression Language

${param.tabName}

.
According to Struts2 documentation on include tag

“Parameters are passed as request parameters, so use the ${param.ParamName} notation to access them. Do not use the property tag to access parameters in included files”.

Note: Do NOT Use “${}” notation in the value attribute of <s:property> tag. “${}” works when used in html code directly. Learn more about using Expression Language.

Parameter can also be accessed from request object in jsp

<%= request.getParameter("tabName")%>

I hope it helps.

I am still struggling in finding out that how can i use this parameter in struts test conditions. If you have an idea.. do leave a comment.
