Kris Thank you for your prompt response. I have now tried all your suggestions but unfortunately they do not work.
When I tried <global-forwards> <forward name="mostRecentNews" path="/getmostrecentnews.do"/> ... </global-forwards> And then used it in the page: <bean:include id="GetMostRecentPosts" forward="mostRecentNews"/> When I access the site from outside the firewall I still get the “Exception opening resource” and the external IP address is shown in the URL. And yet the rest of the site works, and when I access the action directly in my browser it displays the page correctly. (btw it complains if I did not use the id parameter) I then tried your next suggestion of using JSTL <%@ taglib prefix="c uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> ... <c:import url="/getmostrecentnews.do"/> It throws an exception of “javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot forward after response has been committed” -The same as for a <jsp:include ... Any further help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Fred --- Kris Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > #2 first. Try using <bean:include forward="..."/> > instead.
