This is incorrect syntax. The @include just includes your jsp file "inline"
before processing the whole file, much like a header file in "C" (if that
means anything to you!).

I think what you want to do is to process the request (from your
web-browser) and control the program logic based on a request parameter.
Assuming you had a parameter called "showme" sent from your HTML page, your
JSP script would be:
<%
String strShowMe = request.getParameter("showme");
if (strShowMe.equals("true"))
{
// ..process code and output HTML
}
else
{
// do some other stuff
}
%>
Remember, that your HTML form can actually be in the JSP file and submit to
itself, using parameters to control the program flow.
