Include a JSP using realtive path

Hi All,

I am working on an application which uses relative path to include JSP file

the file which i want to include is in other package.
when i am running the current JSP page it is throwing

java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.jsp.provider.JspFilesystemResource.translateToAbsolutePath(JspFilesystemResource.java, Compiled Code)

but when i am moving that included file into same package it is running proeprly.
The relative path for other package i am using is :

<%@ include file ="../Examine/exam.jsp"%>

and for same package i am using

<%@ include file ="exam.jsp"%>

Server on which I am working is Apache HTTP 1.2
and Jdk 1.2.2
IDE: Eclipse

Could any one help me out for this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ajay welcome to Javaranch

It is recommended that you start your question in a new thread, posting to a 2 year old thread is not a good practice to get maximum response.
I am splitting this one for you.

What is your directory structure where you are keeping JSP files?

Hi Amit,

thanks for Your suggestion.

the directory Structure for this application is like.

root Folder
|_____________ JavaSorce(Folder)
|______________Screens(Folder)
|_____________ Examination(Folder)
|______ all jsp Files
|_______________Menu(Folder)
|________ jsp files

actually the application has build nearby 8-10 years back. theres is no structure according to latest Directory Structure
it is used in Folder like Strucrture.

Thanks & Regards.
Ajay
