Actually the problem rests in that the include directive is processed when the JSP page is translated into a servlet class, not at request/run time. The relative URL given as the parameter of the directive must be resolved at translation,and therefore must be a constant value string. In your case , the JSP translator has no idea what will be the future value of "appPath", and so cannot include it.
The solution : Try the <jsp:include > action, which resolves at request time. --- "Galbreath, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Try <%= instead of <% for the assignment.
