Question

I have a relative path to another context on the same server

I can’t use <jsp:include .../> nor the <%@ include .../> directive are meant to be used with URL that are relative to the context

When i try <c:import url="/dir/file.html" context="/context" var="tfile" scope="page"/>
${tfile} needs an absolute url
i get the c:/dirExternal/dir/jsp/mainjsp.jsp is not available

Answer 1

try this code in your jsp to include html file form different context

    <@:include file="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/index.html" />

OR you can do like given below to..

1. access different context of same server

   javax.servlet.ServletContext context = application.getContext("WAR Name");

2. now access pages

   javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd = context.getRequestDispatcher("index.html");
rd.include(request, response);

3. and last one entry in TOMCAT location conf/server.xml

   <context path="/WAR Name" debug="0" reloadable="true" crosscontext="true">
