Hey guys,

new to jsp and MyEclipse so bear with me here.

I’m trying to include a jspf frag in my main jsp (as a header), but it doesn’t appear.
In my web-app structure, I have placed files in the following places:-

The jspf fragment (header) -> Gallery/WebRoot/WEB-INF/jspf/Header.jspf

The image called by the fragment -> Gallery/WebRoot/images/logo.gif

The main jsp that is trying to include the fragment ->
Gallery/WebRoot/jsp/adminForm.jsp

When I preview the header fragment, the logo and text appear as intended, so I’m happy that the frag can find the logo.gif.
But the problem occurs when I use:

 <%@ include file="../WEB-INF/jspf/Header.jspf " %> 

in the body of the main jsp. It shows no errors but the header content fails to materialise.

Does anyone know where I went wrong?
I read that frag files should be kept under WEB-INF/jspf and I know that files under WEB-INF can’t be accessed directly, but it shouldn’t affect internal access, should it?!

regards,
Jules

Jules,
please do not rely on the preview mode to correctly preview heavily processed pages like JSP pages or JSF pages, the preview will get a huge face lift for 4.0 but until then only preview your pages on a running app server with a browser to make sure they are working correctly.
