Server-Side Embedding

Embedding is similar to server side includes. However, instead of a file, it is the content of a URL fetched from another server, that is inserted into the page.

When generating HTML, the class com.mortbay.HTTP.HTML.EmbedUrl class can be used to embed a URL in the generated page. When serving HTML from a non generated source, the method com.mortbay.HTTP.Filter.HtmlFilter.embedUrl() can be called from a filter tag.

This page uses a filter to embed the include demo page which appears in a box below. The source is also included below.



The HTML source that produced this page is below:
