<jsp:include> Not Printing On Web Page, But In Source Code Hi there,
I just had a friend install Tomcat for me on my Apache server at school and it's working great with the test .jsp page I created... until I started to use the <jsp:include> tag. Here's my source for "index.jsp":
Here's my source for "inc/header.jsp":
When I load the page in a browser... "This is an include from the 'inc' directory!" does NOT show up on the page. However, if I view said page's source, I see this:
Can anyone please tell me why my include ("This is an include from the 'inc' directory!") is NOT being rendered on the web page... yet appears in its source? Thank you,
CabG

Well,
I'm not sure why, but out of desperation I threw this:
below this:
And it's working; even after I took "<%@ include file='inc/header.jsp' %>" back out of the code. I must have done something wrong, initially? I also removed the first "/" from my original:
To make it:
But I thought I'd done that before, too. If anyone has any insight as to why it began to work after I added (then removed) the new code... love to hear it, as a new guy.

probably caused a cache somewhere to clear, that's often all there is to it with weird things like that.

Well,
I thought I'd figured it out, but it seems that includes DO NOT work within any pages that are not at the root level. Within a page two directories down from the root level (/admin/admin.jsp), none of the following single statements work:
I have this setup in the Tomcat "server.xml" file:
This is a sample of errors with "../../":
And his is a sample of errors with "/":
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I don't understand why I cannot include files within files that DO NOT reside at the root level.
Thanks so much in advance,
CabG

Re: <jsp:include> Not Printing On Web Page, But In Source Code Okay,
In what's becoming a habit, I'm answering my own questions. Yay! Here's what helped me (in particular, Comment #5):
Include File Failure for Parent|Top Relative References
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39817
My only question, from an inquisitive nature: why did changing my subfolder directory's name (where my subdirectory files reside) from "code" to "ROOT" make it work? Does Tomcat look for "ROOT" and allow directory-scaling (up, I mean) only when items are in a subfolder called "ROOT?"
Thanks,
CabG
