When I'm using <%@ include %> directives in JSP, is there any way to have Eclipse syntax check my included files (or what is best practice for this). What I mean is that if I include files that have variables declared in the parent, I get a bunch of errors about undeclared variables (makes sense).
So how do people get around this?
<jsp:directive.include file="relative URL"/> The included file's URL can be relative to the web application's context path or relative to the current JSP page.
The Page directive defines a number of page dependent properties which communicates with the Web Container at the time of translation. Basic syntax of using the page directive is <%@ page attribute="value" %> where attributes can be one of the following : import attribute.
In JSP life cycle phase, JSP has to be converted to a servlet which is the translation phase. Directives can have many attributes by comma separated as key-value pairs. In JSP, directive is described in <%@ %> tags.
The page directive is used to provide instructions to the container. These instructions pertain to the current JSP page. You may code page directives anywhere in your JSP page. By convention, page directives are coded at the top of the JSP page.
Disable JSP validation in Eclipse (it has always been a failure), or, better, just don't use scriptlets. It's considered bad practice. Keep Java code in real Java classes and use taglibs/EL in JSP all the way.
The best practice is to encapsulate all Java code as tags, and then use the tags in your JSP. As a bonus when you do this you'll be writing your java in .java files, whose syntax Eclipse will check for you. You can find more information about tags from Sun
