Using the include directive (as you are doing) rather than the include
action (<jsp:include ...>) means that the file is "included" at page
translation time rather than page request time; your included file is
essentially cut and pasted into the calling JSP *before* the page is
compiled. So, you don't actually need to pass parameters into the included
.jsp - they'll just be there as part of the resulting servlet's method.

For example, if this your JSP looks something like this:

<%
        String pageName = "Some JSP";
%>
<html>
 ... your HTML here ...

<%@ include file="_footer.jsp" %>

</html>


And "_footer.jsp" looks like this:

This page is <%= pageName %>



The JSP engine will do this at page translation time:

<%
        String pageName = "Some JSP";
%>
<html>
 ... your HTML here ...

This page is <%= pageName %>

</html>


And then compile it.


Good luck,

Subject: passing parameters from one jsp to another (tms)


if i have an include in my jsp like so....

<%@ include file="_footer.jsp" %>

how can i pass variables to that jsp file so it can parse them and display
them
accordingly.

just like passing parameters to a method in java like displayFooter(x,y,z)

thanks,
frank
