How to use a scope variable to dispatch multiple views included in JSP?

I have some question about include tags.

Is it correct to use a structure like this:

<c:choose>
    <c:when test="${info == 'view_users'}">
        <jsp:include page="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/view_users.jsp" />
    </c:when>
    <c:when test="${info == 'view_products'}">
        <jsp:include page="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/view_products.jsp" />
    </c:when>
    <c:when test="${info == 'edit_product'}">
        <jsp:include page="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/edit_product.jsp" />
    </c:when>
    <c:when test="${info == 'view_categories'}">
        <jsp:include page="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/view_categories.jsp" />
    </c:when>
</c:choose>

Sometimes, I get an exception:

JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP.

Is my problem will be solved if I use static include instead of dynamic, by using an include directive in JSP, or do I need to give up such a structure? All included pages have a fixed structure, not dynamic.

The structure could be simplified but it won't resolve your compilation problems.

<c:import url="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/${info}.jsp" />

Instead delegate this logic to controller (using MVC) to decide which view should be returned and properly initialize the view.
