Hi all I already have asked for some directions on how to use the include action and the include directive and had very nice answers... but I might have burned too much neurons on that and I'm still missing some point... ...and...I experience some unexpected behaviour using the <%@ include file="blah.jsp" %>
The quick ref on JSP I have (http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/pdf/card12.pdf) tells me that include uses a relative URL as the file parameter. However, using relative URLs does not seem correct and I experience differences while using Resin or Tomcat 3.2.x vs Tomcat 4.0... When using Tomcat 4.0 or Resin, my relative URLs generally don't work the same way as for Tomcat 3.2 : (say I have "begin.jsp" in <my webapp root>/common/begin.jsp) In Resin and Tomcat 4.0, <%@ include file="../common/begin.jsp" %>) produces a (404-Not Found) by the JSP engine. However, this works perfectly with Tomcat 3.2.... Now, <%@ include file="/common/begin.jsp" %> works like a charm for Resin, Tomcat 3.2 and Tomcat 4.0.. ...and that's where I get confused....which version am I suppose to use ? According to my quick ref card, I should be using relative URLs, and I'm experiencing the exact contrary when I'm not using Tomcat 3.2... I'm trying to use absolute URLs (because I want things to work with Tomcat 4.0 !) and make this a rule of thumb, but I'm not sure I've taken the good decision..... So, any definitive directions would help me getting out of the darkness... Many thanks for your help !
