I ran a quick test on the performance of using the "include page" tag versus "include file" tag. Using ServletExec I found include files to be about 200 times faster.... Include pages are a much more elegant approach than include files, but the question is does the elegance outweigh the performance hit? Any comments on this issue??? I got the idea of using include pages to handle content that changes a lot on our web site...put this content in an include page and it separates the content from the rest of the HTML/JSP code that is more structural (not content, but navigation and the like). This approach has an advantage over include files in that the servlet container will automatically detect changes. Also, you can pass params into the include page. I got this idea by seeing WebLogic's "weblets" that approximate this behavior. I'm not sure if WebLogic used JSP include pages or not for their implementation. Go to http://wwwExcite.com to see the type of thing I'm talking about....each of their little windows could be an include page.
