You can not use the include directive (<%@ include ... %>) with a dynamic file
name, because this type of include happens when the JSP page is turned into
a servlet. The file you specify is included as is into the JSP page before the
whole thing is turned into a servlet.
But with the include action (<jsp:include ... />) you can specify the file
name dynamically, because this include happens when the JSP page is called
to process a request. The JSP page (or servlet) specified by the include action
is executed and the response it produces is inserted into the response of
the main JSP page. You say it "includes the source as is without processing
the file." If that's the case, it's a bug in JRun so please report it to
Allaire.
