I think the problem is that you are using a static include. This is an instruction to the jsp -> java compiler that, you want to include the current *page source* within itself!
You say you get a recursive loop - I'm surprised. I would expect that this wouldn't compile at all - are you sure yuo get a .java file & a .class file for your JSP? I think that using a dynamic include (<jsp:include/>) has a better chance of working. This works as an instruction to include the *results* of the use of your page. Of course I could be entirely wrong about all of this :-) Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: terry Highfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 12:26 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Recursive pages > > > Hi all, > > Does anyone know how to make recursive jsp pages? > > I believe this can be done using <%@ include file="recursive.jsp" %> > > I have done this as :- > > <nested:present property="replies" > > <nested:iterate property="replies"> > <%@ include file="recursive.jsp" %> > </nested:iterate> > </nested:present> > The above code is actually in recursive.jsp > > The bean behind this has a structure : > > class Message implements Serializable { > int id > String subject > String messageText > ArrayList replies // Message objects > > } > > Not all messages have replies so this become likes a tree ADT > - hence the > need for recursion. > > > All I get is a recursive loop! > > I did try using tiles but with this I get the error "Cannot > flush within a > custom tag" (even when I set flush to false), strange it only > complains when > within an iterate loop and equally annoying due to the fact > that I need to > do it within an iterate loop. > > This has been bugging me on and off for a week now and so any > help would be > greatly appreciated - thank you. > > > Terry. > aka: Ingenious Monkey > > _________________________________________________________________ > Want to block unwanted pop-ups?
