Java (JSP): repeating the contentType header in a "sub-jsp"
- by Webinator
What happens when headers are repeated in a .jsp you include in another .jsp?
For example if example.jsp starts with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jsp:root version="2.0" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<div class="content">
<jsp:include page="support-header.jsp"/>
...
(it includes support-header.jsp)
And then support-header.jsp starts also with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jsp:root version="2.0" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
...
Is that a problem? Is it bad practice?
What does concretely happen when you repeat several times a header that only corresponds to one header in the resulting .html page?
