<jsp:include page="${param.page}"  />

The jsp:include tag should not be inside your scriptlet.

try:

  
<%String page = request.getParameter("page");  %>
<jsp:include page=<%=page%>  />  

Also, I would avoid using scriptlets.
If you're server supports JSP 2.0 or better use EL as Pamir Sommez suggested.

The error in the original post is usually caused by a scriptlet expression that does not appear by itself as an attribute value. For example, this should work fine:

<% String pg = request.getParameter("page"); %>
<jsp:include page="<%= pg %>"/>

But this will cause the error:

<% String pg = request.getParameter("page"); %>
<jsp:include page="<%= pg %> "/>

By the way, don't use page for the scripting variable name, it's already defined as an implicit object...

Thanks all for your your response,

I have used following code also but it is not working as "Kris Schneider" says it is causing error

<% String pg = request.getParameter("includeThis");%>
<jsp:include page=<%=pg%> />

It is causing the same error

Are scriplets allowed in <jsp:include> tag?

Thanks in advance..........

Edited "<%pg" changed to "<%=pg%>"
