在JSP中，可以使用include指令來包含其他jsp文件。例如，一個網站中，多個網頁具有很大部分是相同元素時，可以使用include指令來完成。include的指令的語法如下：
<%@ include file="文件路徑"%>
下面通過一個簡單的實例來說明include指令實現的原理。使用Eclipse在web項目下新建一個jsp文件命名為header.jsp，具體代碼如下
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="utf-8"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>My JSP 'header.jsp' starting page</title> </head> <body> 這是一個頭文件 </body> </html>
然后新建一個jsp文件命名為include.jsp，具體代碼如下：
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="utf-8"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>My JSP '03.include.jsp' starting page</title> </head> <body> <%@ include file="header.jsp" %> 這是一個主體部分 </body> </html>
使用include指令時，在file屬性中指定要包含的jsp文件的路徑，推薦使用相對路徑。在eclipse中，按住Ctrl鍵，並點擊file屬性指定的路徑能夠打開相對應的jsp文件，說明路徑正確。
將web項目部署到Tomcat服務器並啟動服務器，到work目錄中找到jsp文件翻譯成的java文件。代碼如下：

可以看出，只翻譯成一個java文件，jsp引擎在處理include指令時，只是單純的將被包含文件的內容copy到包含文件中。查看out.write()代碼部分,發現兩個其中有html標簽有重復的。因此，我們可以在header.jsp中去掉部分重復的標簽，這樣include.jsp也能正常的翻譯成servlet程序。
