jsp:include

[mallika shah]

Friends I have a problem in understanding this:-->

� A.jsp says <%@ include file=�dir/B.jsp�%> and dir/B.jsp says <%@ include
file=�C.jsp�%>. In this case the relative specification C.jsp resolves to dir/C.jsp.
� A.jsp says <jsp:include page=�dir/B.jsp�/> and dir/B.jsp says <jsp:include
page=�C.jsp� />. In this case the relative specification C.jsp resolves to dir/
C.jsp.
� A.jsp says <jsp:include page=�dir/B.jsp�/> and dir/B.jsp says <%@ include
file=�C.jsp� %>. In this case the relative specification C.jsp resolves to dir/C.jsp.
� A.jsp says <%@ include file=�dir/B.jsp�%> and dir/B.jsp says <jsp:include
page=�C.jsp�/>. In this case the relative specification C.jsp resolves to C.jsp.


This portion is from JSP Specs
i need some explanation as to how these are getting resolved ,..
like for the last one(4th) why it gets resolved to c.jsp and why not dir/C.jsp ??

Thanks,
mallika

Hi Mallika and Rajee,

I think this article should help you understanding relative path interpretation in jsp:

Thank you so much, Rancy. That article really helped me to understand about the file and page attributes.
