So, if I understood your requirement correctly, you want to execute a
single file, I,e JSP for every request. Probably after processing a
request you might wish to set an attribute to identify the response
view.
I would suggest to use standard jsp include tag, with this your template
JSP would look like
<%-- put all your html/jsp code here (like the header, pictures
etc.)--%>
<jsp:include page=<%=request.getParameter("mainPage")%> />
<%-- put all your html/jsp code here (like the footer etc.)--%>
Keep in mind that this has a performance issue, as every request results
in runtime inclusion of output from the included JSP.
Hope I was of some help.

Subject: RE: {OT] Re: Jumping in and out of JSP
I am using a template.jsp file that calls a function defined in another
file. Then every file, ie index.jsp, in the site defines that function
and includes the template which calls the function. That way I only
have one file defining what the site looks like.
Is there a better way to template a site. I don't like the method of
including sections into each jsp file. This makes adding new sections
to every page difficult.

This sound very much similar to error handling. However,If you could
explain exactly about what you are trying to do then probably we could
suggest an alternative to get it done.

Does anyone know of a creative solution to this? Or some way to achieve
what I am after?
Thanks

You can't do that. The jsp spec forbids it.
