For example, say I want to specify some button text for an included file, I may want pass a parameter called "buttontext" with the value "Hello". The way I've been approaching this so far is to encode the parameters as a query string on the include URL, e.g. <jsp:include page="test.jsp?buttontext=Hello" /> but this doesn't really scale up to anything more than simple textual arguments. I could add stuff to the session or context, allowing me to use more complex objects, but I don't want to be creating a load of interdependencies as far as attribute naming etc. is concerned between an include file and the file including it. Ideally, I'd like to just be able to parameterise the include as one would a method. Any suggestions?
