Passing script variables as parameters

I've a javascript variable which i need to pass as a parameter to the included file. Ex: var var1 = "test";

Now i need to pass this 'var1' to an include file like this

<%@include file="text.jsp?param1=" + var1 %>

Will this work ? Help me out.

Or, is there any other way around without submitting the form, I need to pass this variable data to that included file which is presented in the same jsp.

No, it won't work. Your JSP is compiled and run server-side, and the Javascript is executed much later on the client-side.

No, this can't work, because the include will be parsed on the server side, long before the javascript var is available.

Instead, you need to add a request parameter to the page url:

<%@include file="text.jsp?param1=${request('someparam')}" %>
