JSP Fallback Action.

JSP Fallback Action Element

  • All the JSP action elements are used during the request processing phase, and not as the directive elements and script elements, which are used during the translation phase
  • All JSP action elements are specified in XML tags and can not be used in an XML directive as these have no end tag.
  • The JSP fallback action is part of the JSP plugin action and can only occur as a direct child of a JSP plugin action.
  • The JSP fallback action element indicates the content to be used by the client browser if the plugin cannot be started (either because OBJECT or EMBED is not supported by the client browser or due to some other problem).
  • Here is the notation for the JSP fallback action element:
    XML Description
    <jsp:fallback > content </jsp:fallback> The content is used by the client browser if the plugin cannot be started. There is no attributes for this action element.
    Example of how to use it:
        <jsp:plugin
          type="applet"
          code="app.InfoJApplet.class"
          codebase="/PluginAction"
          jreversion="1.8"
          archive="PluginActionApplet.jar"
          >
          <jsp:params>
            <jsp:param name="firstName" 
                       value="James" />
            <jsp:param name="lastName" 
                       value="Bond" />
          </jsp:params>
          <jsp:fallback>
            <p>Could not load the applet!</p>
          </jsp:fallback>
        </jsp:plugin>
