jsp include page in .jsp file

This code

In my .jsp page I am trying to include a file from the server. I had no problem in the html portion but can't get it to work inside the java portion. I have tried a variety of methods. Here's the code and the error is below.:

<%
try
{

String to = <%@ include file="/email_domain.html" %> ;
String bcc ="";

String from = email;
String cc = "me@here.com";
String subject = "Subject - Contact Information";

mail.SendMailBean sendMail=new mail.SendMailBean();

String smtpSvr = "localhost.localdomain";
String result = sendMail.send(from,to,cc,bcc,subject,message,smtpSvr);
//out.println("result *** "+result);
count1=count1+1;

}catch(Exception e)
{
out.println(e.getMessage());
}

}
else
{

//out.println("Else");
response.sendRedirect("contact_us.jsp");
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
out.println("Error in redirect "+ e.getMessage());
}
//end to admin

%>

Heres the error
HTTP Status 500 -

Hi,
You cannot use page directive inside a scriplet. Instead you can read it from a properties file or open a socket connection and read it into a variable. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by doing this.

already ur string on page directive
then how can you use one more inside ?

String to       = <%@ include  file="/email_domain.html" %> ;


<%
        try
        {

                               String bcc              ="";    

                String from    = email;
                String cc      = "me@here.com";
                String subject = "Subject - Contact Information";

                mail.SendMailBean sendMail=new mail.SendMailBean();

                String smtpSvr = "localhost.localdomain";
                String result  = sendMail.send(from,to,cc,bcc,subject,message,smtpSvr);
                //out.println("result *** "+result);
                count1=count1+1;

        }catch(Exception e)
        {       
                        out.println(e.getMessage());
        }       
                
}
else
{

//out.println("Else");
response.sendRedirect("contact_us.jsp");
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
out.println("Error in redirect "+ e.getMessage());
}
//end to admin

Didn't work. It could not resolve the variable "to". What would be the best way to read this variable from a properties file from within the scriplet?

How the html value set to string ??
String to = <%@ include file="/email_domain.html" %> ;

Sathish David Kumar N

write in property file and get it . or use rquest.getAttribute to get the value , change that as JSp

mrcoffee365

dravidnsr - you are mistaken about how jsp pages are produced.

richmarotta1: AtulVerma gave you the right answer above.

in HTML I use

<title><jsp:include page="/pagetitle.html" flush="true" /></title>

mrcoffee365

Right -- that's the way you use jsp:include. You can't use jsp:include as the value of a variable in a JSP file.

mrcoffee,

We are taking over this site. This site was architected with a lot of redundant code. The code now needs to handle two different sites with distinct things like email domains. I am exchanging redundant code for includes so I can have 1 set of code for both sites.

What is the best way to read a properties file from within the jsp file?

Ah -- I wondered what the conversions on EE would do to that. The greater than symbol has to be escaped into ampersand + gt + ; in the web.xml file.
