include

public static java.lang.Object include(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                       javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                                       java.lang.Object callback,
                                       javax.servlet.ServletContext targetContext)
                                throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                                       java.io.IOException

Execute a command after having performed a request dispatch in the target servlet context.

The provided callback argument must expose a public non static and non abstract method with the signature execute(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse). This method must return an object and can declare any exception. This method will be invoked after the request dispatch operation is done.

Any throwable thrown by the callback invocation will be wrapped in a ServletException and rethrown, unless it is an instance of ServletException or IOException.

Parameters:

callback - the callback to invoke after the inclusion is done

targetContext - the target servlet context

Throws:

java.io.IOException - likely thrown by the request dispatch operation

javax.servlet.ServletException - wraps any exception thrown by the callback
