static web resource?

[Naichen Liu]

On page 251 of Sun's j2ee tutorial, there is a statement as follows,
"To include the content of another resource, invoke the include method of a RequestDispatcher:
include(request, response);

Could somebody explain what it means by "static" resource? a static type of Object?
Thanks
