JSP directive from within a Servlet

Hi All,

sorry if this is stupidly simple, but I can't seem to figure it. Using Tomcat as a Stand-Alone server, I'd like to be able to write a JSP [include] directive from within my Servlet's [doGet] method and still have that executed as the servlet's page[stream] gets served up.

But I'm not sure it's possible. At least I can't seem to get it to work.

Tried writing both

<%@ include file="header.jsp">
<%@ include file="footer.html">

and

<jsp:include page="header.jsp">
<jsp:include page="footer.html">

But both just seem to come up as hidden text in the HTML source.

Is it at all possible or am I barking up the wrong tree please?

In a servlet you have to use this:

Code:

request.getRequestDispatcher("fileToInclude.jsp").include(request, response);

That works like a charm.

Thank you Nemi.
