Include directive

[Deepak Jain]

Can file attribute of include have scriplets?
I understand that file name must be available @ compile time and hence the variable that will have the name of the file will be declared as final.
<%! String path="path.jsp"; %>
<%@ include file="<%=path%>"/>

I get an error
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /menu.jsp(5,0) File "/<%=path%>" not found
Which implies the container is expecting /<%=path%> as file name.


Please reply.

It is not possible to dynamically choose the file to include using static

<%@ include file="<%=path%>" %>

However you can do this with jsp:include

<jsp:include page="<%=path%>"></jsp:include>
