Hi Micael, Let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. If I include a file like:
<jsp:include page="./testTxt.sum" flush="true" /> Why does it matter what the file extension of the included file is? Isn't the container just supposed to open the file and output it's contents at that particular spot in my JSP? Now, I agree that the contents of the included file will be affected by the MIME type of the response -- how the browser views those contents. If you include a file that doesn't match the MIME type of your response, it may not appear correctly in your browser. But that's not the point. The JSP spec says the "page" attribute must evaluate to a String that is a relative URL specification. When I pull up the testTxt.sum file in my browser, it displays correctly (it's only one line of text...). So, I should be able to include it in my JSP with the jsp:include directive. When I change the extension to .txt, .html, or .jsp it works. Anything else, even other registered MIME types like .doc, and it doesn't. (ok, I didn't try them ALL... :) I think this is a bug. The old Java Web Server used to have a similar bug where it would only include .htm and .html files. --jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Micael Padraig Og mac Grene" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 1:37 PM Subject: Re: Unable to include *.sum files (Again) > At 01:31 PM 12/7/01 -0800, you wrote: > >Nope.
