<jsp:include> pages in static block of _jspService method

[Christopher McCauley]

I have joined a new project, and I am trying to make room for additional code in a jsp...I understand that this desperately needs to be refactored, but....we'll leave it at that

Tomcat 5.5 in JBoss 4.0.3
Java 1.5 b22

There are about 28 include directives that stack up to a very large _jspService method and for two of the larger pages I am changing them to jsp:include, but it is not working.... Here is one of the includes:

  
<jsp:include page="Details.jsp" flush="true">
	<jsp:param name="readOnly" value="<%=readOnly%>" />
</jsp:include>

And here is the _jspService code generated:

   

 public final class Main_005fFullShipmentDetails_jsp extends org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase
    implements org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceDependent {

  private static java.util.Vector _jspx_dependants;

  static {
    _jspx_dependants = new java.util.Vector(28);
    _jspx_dependants.add("/jsp/jsp1.jsp");
    _jspx_dependants.add("/jsp/jsp11.jsp");
    _jspx_dependants.add("/jsp/jsp12.jsp");
    _jspx_dependants.add("/jsp/jsp13.jsp");
    _jspx_dependants.add("/jsp/jsp14.jsp");
...
[b]    _jspx_dependants.add("/jsp/Details.jsp");[/b]
... 
[b]    _jspx_dependants.add("/jsp/CustomsDetails2.jsp");[/b]

  }  

Ideas?

Please see ItDoesntWorkIsUseless.

If you're saying it's generated the same code for both a static and dynamic include then something else is probably broken and you're not seeing the most recently generated source, or it's not being generated.

Ill try again. (I'll be sure to avoid any catch phrases... :wink

I changed a include directive to a dynamic include and for all intents and purposes..it actually didnt work, doh!....what could be wrong is my assumption that the static dependencies seen in the static block of the _jspService method are not realted to the actual compilation of the jsp --> servlet...I am not sure of this...

I have opened the source file (jspName.java) generated in the work directory and there is no correlated .class file, thus leading me to believe( perhaps falsely) that I am 1) looking at the correct generated file ( confirmed by timestamp) and that 2) it is the file that is failing to be compiled.

any other info that might be helpful?

Delete the Java file and try again.

If that's not it, then the file is still too large.
