You're right of course ... I was thinking of the NCSA-style includes like this:
<!--#include file="filename" -->
or
<!--#include virtual="path" -->
which you can do with generic servlets like Apache JSSI, rather than the <servlet> tag
which you can't support without "inside knowledge" of the servlet engine.
For including the output of other servlets, I've been using RequestDispatcher.include()
and the JSP equivalent <jsp:include>., and accessing the servlet or JSP page by URI
path rather than by name. The parameters you specify do end up in a request attribute,
so you can parse them and use them to vary the behavior of the included servlet -- but
it does need to know that it's been accessed this way. JSWDK does have the ability to
do this kind of request-time including, as well as the compile-time including that was
described earlier, with no additional software required.
