Hi John,
<%String filePath = "/WEB-INF/jsp/test.html";%>
<%@ include file=filePath; %>
When you run this code what error message do you get? I am not sure of what you are getting but I think
you should get message saying 'quotes expected'. The reason is that directive attributes take value in quotes. Instead of putting 'file=filepath' try putting 'file="/WEB-INF/jsp/test.html" it should work. I have tried this and it has worked. Also one more addition, there should not be a
; terminating include directive this also will lead to an exception.
