Hi Martin, Thanks... But probably this is not what I am looking for. Or may be I got you wrong.
Snippets will make it once-for-all includes. But the include is dynamic. It is known only at runtime. So, I would like to have something like the following: <tag:selector var="item" items="somevar"> <tag:if var="$item.selected"> <tag:render item="$item/> </tag> </tag:selector> One way would be to use JSP-snippet: <% for(int i = 0; i < somevar.size(); i++) { MyItem item = somevar.get(i); if(item.isSelected()) { item.render(whatever, parameter, list, required, like, context, request, response, servlet, etc); } } %> Can you provide in more details of what you meant by HTML Snippets?
