Hello, Bob AFAIK the JSP include statement is used to refer to a file starting from the actual JSP file location. So, let's assume you have a file index.jsp which should include a file from a subdirectory, your idea is right:
<jsp:include page="dir/my.html"/> (I tend to use JSPFs :P) The problem is: you can only reference files from within your webapp context. That's security related, I think. Imagine you're a web hoster which hosts jsp files ;) the users would be able to include my /etc/passwd file ;))))) So, yes, the path is relative from/to the JSP file position. Another idea: do you include your includes/header.html file within your war file? Best regards Dirk Bob Dushok schrieb: > I'm attempting to include content using the <jsp:include> tag.
