Easy to do without hacking Tomcat or distressing Tomcat developers :) Write a JSP with the imports: --- imports.jsp --- <%@page import="a, b, c"%> ------ and include it at the top of any JSPs that need them: <%@include file="imports.jsp"%> And one day when you try porting a JRun application to Tomcat, you'll see why servlet container "features" like implicit imports, or accepting <%= foo; %> are extremely evil ;) --Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
