need help urgently
dear all;
i have some applications under webapps folder. all of them must include some static html files. the problem is if i jave the following file system:
/var/tomcat4/webapps/test1 ------> application 1 containing test1.jsp file and others
/var/tomcat4/webapps/test2 -------> application 2
/var/tomcat4/webapps/includes ----> folder containing only html static files, not an application , for example: topfile.htm
how to refer to these static files (inside includes) from my jsp?
for example, when i refer to topfile.htm from test1.jsp as follows:
<jsp:include page="../includes/topfile.htm" flush="true"/>
the page is loaded balnk. why?
is it not allowed to refer to any folder outside my application? if so, how to work around that?
Regards
Iman

<jsp:include> is limited to "...the inclusion of static and dynamic resources in
the same context as the current page." But, since it looks like you're using TC
4.x, you can take advantage of JSTL to include content from a different context
within the same container or even from an absolute URL. For example (different
context, same container):
<c:import url="/topfile.htm" context="/includes"/>
See:
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/index.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html

i'm appreciating your response, but are u sure that there is no another
solution? i can't use links as these files are the banner and footer of the
site, so i have to use jsp:include tag..
all that i want to make sure..is it really not permitted to refer to any
static resources outside my webapplication?
if it is possible.. how to?

the workaround that would be to put a link (include) in test1 and test2
that links to the ../include
