There is a very simple reason that this does not work -- <%@ include %> directives
are processed when the page is *compiled*, but scriptlets are processed when a page
is *requested* (i.e. later on).
If you want to dynamically construct the filename to be included like your example,
do this instead:
<% String myFile = "./centers/" + my_state + ".html"; %>
<jsp:include page="<%= myFile %>" flush="true"/>
This works because <jsp:include> is also processed when the page is requested.
