Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Self-including JSP files

Reports any include directives in a JSP file which refer to the containing JSP file.

Example JSP file named main.jsp:

<jsp:include page="./main.jsp" /> // Error: attempt to include the containing file ...

Locating this inspection

By ID

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.

SelfIncludingJspFiles
Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

Settings or Preferences | Editor | Inspections | JSP

NOTE: Such self-including leads to infinite recursion and so the JSP file cannot be compiled.
