I cannot understand your situation. If you use the include directive, then the JAVA Servlet file will include the info in the JSP file which is included. If you use the include element, then the included JSP file will have its own separate JAVA Servlet file. Accordingly, the include element requires a JAVA Servlet file to be loaded with a class loader. So, you must be using JSP files that are edited outside the web application and then inserted into the web application, where they are then compiled and "included" via reference by other Servlets. Right?
I am not sure what the problem is with "overwriting". I am also not sure what you mean by them "existing" outside the web application. If by being edited outside and included in a web application is what you mean by "existing outside", what is the problem? Sorry to be dark, but this is a mysterious discussion to me. You guys clearly understand what you are talking about. I don't. Consider this a "subquestion" in an attempt to be helpful. ;-) Jack On Mon, 27 Dec 2004 12:22:50 -0800 (PST), [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > We have a web application that is overwritten each time we push a new > version of the code into production.
