include like this

<jsp:include page="date.jsp"></jsp:include>

or use this at top of your jsp

<%@ include file="date.jsp" %>

Try using import statement,If your current page and date.jsp are in same folder.

<c:import url="date.jsp" >

instead of

<jsp:include page="/date.jsp"/ >

N.B: Before using c taglib, import it first and include jstl.jar and standard.jar to your classpath.

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
