JSP duplicate if included multiple time

let say i have this global.jsp that include a database configuration and connection.

I know this is not the best way to do this, and I didn't allow to use anything else then a pure jsp. The problem is when is this file is included in more than once then i got re-declaration开发者_开发技巧 error. Is there any way to do this ? something like IFDEF on C perhaps.

Thanks.

Check the jsp include concept here is the simple detail and difference of the include directive tag and include action tag

should use the include directive (<%@ include file="relativeURL" %>): if the file includes static text if the file is rarely changed (the JSP engine may not recompile the JSP if this type of included file is modified) if you have a common code snippet that you can reuse across multiple pages (e.g. headers and footers)

should use the <jsp:include /> for content that changes at runtime to select which content to render at runtime (because the page and src attributes can take runtime expressions) for files that change often
