Is it possible to add jspf files to a jsp page without using jsp:include?

Question

What I want to achieve is something similar to a master page in asp.net. I\'m following a tutorial, but I may have missed something cause I have added my header.jspf and foo

Answer 1

I'm also doing that tutorial, and when I use Tomcat as the server it won't include the header and the footer, I have to use the glassfish server, is there any way to make tomcat include the header and the footer?

EDIT:

Replacing the default tag with this one seems to have solved the problem using tomcat as the server
