jsp include is not working from subdirectories

I am not able to include a jsp file from a subdirectory. I have to include a file from include subfolder to a file in the test folder.

I tried this code

<%@ include file="../../include/file.jsp"%>

inside the file ../test/sample.jsp

But I'm getting an error like

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /all.jsp(132,1) File "/../../include/file.jsp" not found
org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:40)

Update: I think the problem is related to tomcat.When I used to map the root folder as context in tomcat it was working and when I add root folder as a host,the problem arises.I want to use it as a host.

Here in this tomcat config it doesn't work:

<Host name="abc.test"  appBase="c:\abcd"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

        <Context path="/" docBase="c:\abcd" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
 ..................................................................
...............................................................
</context>
</host>

But it works in the following config

<Host name="abc.test"  appBase="c:\abc"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

<Context path="/lang" docBase="c:\subdir" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
  ..................................................................
...............................................................
</context>

        <Context path="/" docBase="c:\subdir" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
  ..................................................................
...............................................................
</context>
</host>

ie, jsp include from subfolders works in http://abc.test/lang/ and it doesn't work for http://abc.test In both cases, the files from the same directory can be included

I've found using the full path info (from the root directory) sans leading slash seems to work...

In other words, instead of 

../../../Directory/file

I use: 

FirstSubDir/SecondSubDir/ThirdSubDir/Directory/file

Including the leading slash (ie: /FirstSubDir/Se...) seems to cause the same issue as noted.

Since the include directive takes a relative path you can start from the root of the site rather than use the ../ syntax. So you can try: /include/file.jsp.
