<html:rewrite />

The <html:rewrite /> tag is used to create a request URI based on the identical policies used with the <html:link /> tag but without the <a> element. The <html:rewrite /> tag has no body and supports 12 attributes, described in Table 16.22.

Table 16.22: <html:rewrite> Tag Attributes

Attribute	Description
anchor	Used to append an HTML anchor to the end of a generated hyperlink. (optional)
forward	Identifies the name of the global forward element that will receive control of the forwarded request. (optional)
href	Specifies the URL of the resource to forward the current request to. (optional)
name	Identifies a scripting variable referencing a java.util.Map object, whose collection of key/value pairs is used as the HTTP request parameter augmenting the redirected request. (optional)
page	Specifies an application-relative path of the image source used by this input tag. (optional)
paramId	Specifies a request parameter that is added to the generated src URL when the hosting JSP is requested. (optional)
paramName	Identifies the name of a scripting variable of type java.lang.String that references the value to be used for the request parameter identified by the paramId attribute. (optional)
paramProperty	Used to identify a data member of the bean named by the paramName attribute that is dynamically added to this src URL. (optional)
paramScope	Defines the scope of the bean specified by the paramName attribute. If the paramScope attribute is not specified, then the tag searches for the bean in the scopes, in the order of page, request, session, and application. (optional)
property	Used to identify a data member of the bean named by the name attribute that contains the java.util.Map object of parameters. (optional)
scope	Defines the scope of the bean specified by the name attribute. If the scope attribute is not specified, then the tag searches for the bean in the scopes, in the order of page, request, session, and application. (optional)
transaction	If set to true, indicates that the current transaction control token should be included in the generated URL. The default value is false. (optional)

The <html:rewrite /> tag is especially useful when used to generate a String constant that is expected to be used by a JavaScript function.
