Problem with <%jsp:include page>

[punitdam]

I m trying to use <jsp:include page> with apache tomcat 5.5.26 as follows

679:</table>
680:	</td></tr>
681:	<tr><td colspan=2 width="100%">
682:		<jsp:include page="html/policy.html" flush="true"/>
683:	</td></tr>
684:	<tr><td colspan = 2 align="center">
685:		<input type="hidden" name="hide" value="3">

where policy.html is html file to display policy.
while trying to view jsp i m getting following error

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP: 

An error occurred at line: 682 in the jsp file: /PreReqMail.jsp
org.apache cannot be resolved or is not a field
679:</table>

The <jsp:include tag includes the runtime result of executing another JSP into the one it's contained in.
As your page is a static page, not a JSP, it won't compile to a Java servlet, which is what the error indicates.
Make it a JSP and try again.

hello. there isn't any problem in your syntax or code. but you probably hadn't written this code into a jsp file in a web project:) just start a new web project...
