Hey everyone,
So my setup for my web application is that I have a general header and footer and then I just include them in all my other pages so that all the common elements for all the pages are in a single
page. The only problem I'm running into is when I want to redirect the user back to a login
page if the "username" session has not already been created.
The problem that I"m running into is that I have an if statement at the top of my header.jsp and then I have the else in the footer.jsp and it is giving me a java syntax error. Any ideas? Here is the code I'm referring to...
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%
if(session.getAttribute("username") != null)
{
%>
<%@
page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<!-- CSS files -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../CSS/headerStyle.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<div id="headerTitle">Title</div>
</div>
</div>
<%} %>
And then here is the footer
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../CSS/headerStyle.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
<%
else
{
response.sendRedirect("../wa_login/login.jsp");
}
%>
However it is giving me an error on the else statement because the else doesn't have an if statement because it's in the header file.
