How to import a CSS file in JSP?

Question

<%String path = application.getRealPath("/");%>
<%@page import="index.css" %>

I am using String path as above to get the real path of my directory. I want to import index.css from the css folder.

Is it possible in JSP to do something like <%@page import = path+"css/index.css"%> or is there an easier way to do this?

I am coming from a php background so I am used to using include_once and being done with it. Is there nothing similar in JSP? @MattHouser — ILikeTurtles, May 31 '13 at 21:00

I think you want to include index.css file to jsp. try this

<jsp:include page="index.css"/>

or

<%@include file="/WEB-INF/include/header.jsp"%>

but i recommend to use tag in html

Neither PHP nor JSP have anything to do with CSS.

You can link the resulting HTML to a stylesheet the same way you would in any other HTML, using the <link> tag.
