Yunyun:
Not sure what you are asking. Are you asking how to include information from
a document given its absolute url; or are you asking how to create an href
link to an absolute url?
>From your example (yahoo), I assume you are asking how to include an href
link. (The alternative is accomplished through JSP's include tag).
Here are a couple of ways jsp may return an href to a browser:
1. The easy, static way is just place your html code outside the <% %>
jsp tags, i.e.:
/* close your scriptlet block */
%>
<p>Visit Yahoo by clicking here:
<a href='http://www.yahoo.com'>Visit Yahoo!</a></p>
<p>Or visit many other fine search engines blablabla... </p>
<%
/* continue your scriptlet processing...
* anything entered outside jsp tags is passed to the browser, without
processing.
* if it is a valid html code, the browser will process it, creating the
example href link.
*/
2. A dynamic way may be done as something like this:
<% // our scriptlet will process and return our html href tag
String tmp ;
// the calling html page passes an option to the jsp as a
variable,
// such as http://mySite.com/myJSP.jsp?ref=yahoo
String ref = request.getParameter("ref") ;
// then test the variable...
if ref.equals( "yahoo" ) {
tmp = "<p>Visit Yahoo by clicking here: " +
"<a href='http://www.yahoo.com'>Visit
Yahoo!</a></p>" ;
out.println( tmp ) ;
}
else {
// do something else...
}
%>
Of course, you also can mix the logic of these options, eliminating, for
example, the need for out.println().
Hopefully this answers your question. Please forgive me if I misunderstood
it.
