Output of the program :


As soon as user request for index.jsp page, the request goes to index.jsp and there it finds that it has included a page welcome.jsp by the use of jsp:include tag along with the necessary parameters with it. The control internally brings welcome.jsp to index.jsp and the rendered page of welcome.jsp is visible at the browser.
