Mike, Doing an exclude is one approach (as mentioned by Len). When I encountered this issue a couple of years ago, my Googling turned up the recommended approach of naming your include files with a ".jspf" suffix instead of a ".jsp" suffix. Jasper should ignore them - and it will be clear which files are includes.
HTH - Richard -----Original Message----- From: Michael P. Soulier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 7:52 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: error in jasper precompilation I'm taking care of a site that uses a common header and footer, with a dynamic header title, like so <!-- set the page title --> <%! String title = "Pawsitive Approach Pet Services"; %> <!-- header here --> <%@ include file="comps/header.jsp" %> In header.jsp, title is used to output the title. <head> <title><%= title %></title> Now, this works just fine. I'm experimenting with precompiling the pages using jasper, but this really broke compilation of the pages. When javac tries to compile the precompiled header.jsp file, it says that "title" is not defined. Doesn't that mean that jasper's precompilation is broken, or should I just tell it to exclude compiling header.jsp, as it's being included in all of the other pages? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.
