Thread: Objects passing to JSP

First off, I apologize if this is a Java-only forum, no JSP stuff, but I figured I'd try.

So I'm used to PHP and here's what I don't get: if I include one JSP inside of another one, why wouldn't I have access to the same objects inside the included JSP? Example:

<% if(report.getWriterConfiguration().contains("Gauge")) { %>
       <jsp:include page="writer/outGauge.jsp" />
    <%
    }       
    else {

But if I try to do anything with the report object in outGauge.jsp, it says it can't resolve 'report'.

Nevermind, I was including using the wrong method. I changed it to this:
<%@ include file="writer/outGauge.jsp" %>

And now everything works fine.
