Application Platform 10.3 | Application Platform API | webMethods Tag Library for JSP | <jsp:include>
 
<jsp:include>
Use the <jsp:include> tag to insert a text file in the JSP. At runtime, the Tomcat servlet container inserts the contents of the specified file in the JSP and processes the tags that the file contains.
Tip:
If you use JSPs extensively, you might want to build a library of standard “code fragments” that you reference using <jsp:include> tags.
Syntax
For interpreted pages:
<jsp:include page="file" flush="true"/>
For static pages:
<%@ include file="file"%>
Arguments
