Thanks for all the help from everyone. Using both GNUJSP and Tomcat this
worked for me.
Appreciate it,
George

The <%@ include file="..."%> directive is processed at the time your JSP
page is
compiled, not when it is executed. Therefore, there is no opportunity for
you to
calculate the name of the file to be included, because your scriptlet (or
whatever)
isn't used until a request is made.
On the other hand, you can use <jsp:include> instead, for example:
<%
String pathname = "/page" + request.getParameter("page_number");
%>
<jsp:include page="<%= pathname %>" flush="true"/>
This works because <jsp:include> is processed at request time.
