George,
Lets assume that I'm a "novice" programmer and that I really need to include 5 "pre-processing" pages at the top of every single jsp in an application (Color defs, Database connections, whatever), I would prefer to write the code once (and not really have to physically include it on every single page)... knowing that the code was being implicitly included would be as good if not better than physically having the <%@ yah-de-yah %> at the top of every single page in the app...
The only version of WebLogic I have at my disposal is 5.1 therefore some of the newer tricks from 6.x are not available to me. Does this explanation make it any easier to understand what I'm trying to accomplish? Of course I can <%@ yah-de-yah %> at the top of every page BUT if I forget it just once something will most certainly break and it could be days before said page gets requested... therefore if it could be done implicitly it would be a much better scenario for me

Even after your explanation of "pre-processing" pages I'm not too sure what you mean. I don't see why you would need these kind of pages when your servlets and JSPs are dynamic anyway.
