Include directive with import tags how to

Question

I mostly the same classes throughout many of my jsp pages. If I use the include directive to import the classes - it doesn't work. What is the proper directive / way / tag to include those tags? Sorry if I am not wording this properly. Here's an example:
most of my classes use the following classes so I use the @import tag:
<%@page import="web.urls.DisplayUrls"%>
<%@page import = "web.beanObjects.display.DisplayPage"%>
<%@page import="web.db.admin.TypesDbHandler"%>
<%@page import="web.db.admin.CategoryDbHandler"%>
I would like to put all of those in one file and only have one line of code so I don't have to cut & paste into every jsp page whenever there's a change:
<%@include file="/include/imports.jsp"%>
Unfortunately this isn't working, it's not recognizing the classes...
Thanks!

hi,
since both the files are located in the same folder, why don't you try the following:
<%@ include file="hello.jsp" %>
hope this helps
