We have a very large codebase with the following basic structure:

a.jsp {
define variables a,b,c,d,e
include b.jsp
include c.jsp
}

b.jsp & c.jsp {
use variables a,b,c,d,e … repeatedly
}

The result is that if I look at b or c in the editor, that about 50% of the file is underlined in red… Is there any way around this other than doing a request.setAttribute / request.getAttribute? Is there a comment that you can put in a jsp file to indicate that its parent is a.jsp?

ie: <%@page parent=”/a.jsp” %>

Thanks

Looking around, I see a lot of similar posts — all with the response that this is not a compiler error if it is in the right margin — but in this case, I think it would be a compiler error, as the page b.jsp will not compile alone, but only as an include — there should be a way to specify the parent of a page, if for no other purpose but to remove all those red quiggles…
