To further complicate this problem, I have tried more experimenting and am
becoming more frustrated.
The original situation remains below.
Now if I add a sub-directory to the admin subdirectoy, the directory structure
looks like this:
[main host directory (/host)]
index.jsp
header.jsp (ROOT VERSION, with a notation I can see in the html distinguishable
from others)
[admin sub directory (/host/admin)
index.jsp
header.jsp (ADMIN VERSION, with a notation)
[user sub directory (/host/admin/user)]
[justin sub directory (/host/admin/user/justin)]
index.jsp
As you can see, I have copied the header.jsp to the sub-directory admin and
have altered its contets so I can identify which header.jsp is being
used--namely that in the root directory or in the admin directory.
Then in the index.jsp file in the justin subdirectory, I use the code
<%@ include file="../../../header.jsp" %>
to reach the ROOT header.jsp to be included. But instead, the output in the
browser uses the file from the ADMIN directory.
So I figured I should just add ../ once more to move one more level up. so I
did.
<%@ include file="../../../../header.jsp" %>
But it used the ADMIN version again.
<%@ include file="../../../../../../../../header.jsp" %>
actually does too. What is the problem here?
And trying to go less instead of more,
<%@ include file="../../header.jsp" %>
this also works but uses the ADMIN version. Which is the expected behavior FOR
ONCE.
But then even less
<%@ include file="../header.jsp" %>
gives this error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /sites/14/index.jsp(8,0) File
"/sites/14/../header.jsp" not found
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWrapper.java:512)

org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
Can someone try to reproduce this error? I believe that Tomcat 5.5 and 6.0 do
not behave properly in this reguard. Unless I am making a mistake. If that is
the case, please guide me out of it.

Subject: Include Directive
Hello,
I am trying to eliminate unnecessary duplication of code by using include
directives. Currently my directory structure is like this:
[main app directory]
index.jsp
header.jsp
footer.jsp
[admin subdirectory]
index.jsp
The index.jsp file in the main directory contains the code <%@ include
file="header.jsp" %> and it works great.
In the admin directory the index.jsp file contains this code <%@ include
file="../header.jsp" %> obviously referencing to the parent directory, where
the header.jsp file sits. I don't want to have to copy it to the child
directory and maintain two copies of it.
But when I do this, I get an error every time. What am I doing wrong? You can
find the error below.
