How to include html file which is in static location in a jsp file

<%@ include page='/static/pjt/html/firstPage.htm'%>

but getting error as The requested resource (/static/pjt/html/firstPage.htm) is not available

That's the way. You just need to give it the right URL.

[Mary Chellapa]

And you need to put it in double quotes
and make sure the location of htm to be included is correct

Use "file" attribute instead of "page":
<%@ include file="" %>

page attribute is for jsp standard action include:
<jsp:include page="" />

Oops! That's right! Good catch.

The path of html file is correct but it is not being loaded from the static folder in the jsp page

Can anyone say me if it is possible to load and am I doing the correct process

[Bear Bibeault]

Then the path can't be correct.

The path is right. I created a hyperlink in the jsp page with the same path and able to re-direct when click on the link

[Bear Bibeault]

Is you app deployed as the root web app?

If not, then it is definitely not right. A hyperlink needs to start with the context path, the include path does not. They'll be different except for when a web app is deployed as the root web app.

Insisting that it's right when it's not is not going to help you any. If it were right, it'd be working.

yes, It is deployed as root.war folder

OK, so now it's time for you to show us the folder structure where the file is stored and the paths you are using to access it. Does the path work when you type it into the broser address bar?

the Html file that I have created is in ROOT.war\static\pages\html and path that I am using to access is

 /static<%=request.getContextPath()%>/html/footer.htm

[Bear Bibeault]

Two things:

/static<%=request.getContextPath()%> is definitely wrong -- /static and the context path? What's that all about?

Java scriptlets? In 2011? Really? Use the EL: ${pageContext.request.contextPath}

Can you say me the path how to include in jsp file

inplace of scriplet I have to replace with el

[Bear Bibeault]

When creating a client-side resource reference (images, css, scripts, etc), you start it with the context path. Fo example:

<img src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/moose.png">

When creating server-side references (include, forwards) the context path is not included.

Then how should I include the html page which tag do I have to use to include the html page which is in static folder in the jsp page
