ESP Directives › Processing Directive

Processing Directive

The processing directive controls general aspects of ESP execution.

Syntax

The processing directive uses the following syntax:

<%@    [ subchar={ & | c } ]  [ trace={on | on-html | on-js | off } ] %>

Keywords

The processing directive contains the following keywords:

• subchar= { & | c }

  Specifies the default substitution character to be used in all scripting statements.

• Trace={ on | on-html | on-js |off }

  If set to on, then trace messages are inserted into the output page. These messages contain the following information:

  • What statements looked like in the source.
  • What statements looked like after substitution.
  • In some cases, other relevant information about a particular statement or directive.

    If set to on-html, then WebCenter SDK assumes that the page is processing HTML and the trace messages are generated assuming the HTML context. If on-js is specified, then WebCenter SDK assumes the context is JavaScript.

Examples
