Another option no-one has posted is the include the html file using
RequestDispatcher.
This several advantages:
1) does not expose direct url to html page (maintains security)
2) does not require each page to be compiled (if it were converted to
.jsp)
3) is faster & more scalable (as Shawn McKisson commented)
for JSP 0.92
this.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("page.html").include(request
, response);
for JSP 1.0
config.getRequestDispatcher("page.html").include(request, response);
--^ not sure about "config", I'm still stuck in 0.92
