This should be simple. My application has this structure:
WEB-INF
-jsp
--inc
I have a jsp in the WEB-INF/jsp directory hat has the following:
<%@ include file="/jsp/inc/_header.jsp" %>
This gets me an exception because _header.jsp is not found. Nor is the simpler
<%@ include file="/inc/_header.jsp" %>
found. I'm sure that _header.jsp is in the inc directory. What am I missing? Thanks.WEB-INF
-jsp
--inc
This is from the include directive's syntax card:
"If the relative URL starts with /, the path is relative to the JSP application's context, which is a javax.servlet.ServletContext object that is in turn stored in the application object. If the relative URL starts with a directory or file name, the path is relative to the JSP page."
So if you start the URL with a "/" (like you do in the post above) the URL should be: "/WEB-INF/jsp/inc/_header.jsp", since that is the relative address from the servlet context root.
But what you really want to try, I think, is to take the "/" out and just make the page relative to the current page: "inc/_header.jsp".
