I made a tiny JSP like this:

And I called it test.jsp
fragment.html contains a pinch of text, nothing more.
If I take out the "<%@ include file="fragment.html" %>", the page comes up fine. If I leave it in, I see:
500 Internal Server Error
JSP Parse Error
JSP Directive <%@ %> fileis not recognized.
I'm using JRun. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Paul,
Change "file" to "page".

JSP Directive <%@ %> pageis not recognized.

Hi Paul,
Sorry, "file" is correct. If you keep the two files in the same directory, then it should work. Have you tried the demo samples?

I'm using JRun, although I think I found out that it is not JSP 1.1 compliant. And the include tag I'm trying to use is a 1.1 thing.
I've downloaded Tomcat and am struggling to get it working.

Hi Paul,
If you really wish to get into this jSP thing, perhaps you should buy the book "web development with java server pages" by Duane Fields & Mark Kolb. It is available also as an e-book for a mere $13.50. You can also ask questions in their website forum.
http://www.manning.com/Fields/index.html
The book has an appendix which helps with configuration.
Gook luck,

Thanks sheil.
I bought that book a few days ago.
I now have tomcat running and my stuff seems to be working okay. Time to do some serious reading.
Thanks for the tip on the forum. I'll probably head out there.
