Define "I can't". What do you expect to happen, and what happens instead? — JB Nizet, Nov 15 '13 at 16:31

Your 2nd block of code is a bit of a mess of scriptlet tags.

At the start you have

<%String ...

I'm not certain, but you might need a gap between the scriptlet tag and the java:

<%
  String ...

Right after the else theres a closing tag %> without a matching <%

Try tidying that up and see where you get...

Following NickJ's answer, I see 2 further mistakes made.

The file name inc_terms_span.jsp you want to include is (maybe) written wrong, because you show us the content of inc_term_span.jsp.
At the line if(showaslist!=null && showaslist.equalsIgnoreCase("true")){ there's an opening bracket {, but you never close it before the else.

Try this code to fix it:

<%
String showaslist = request.getParameter("list"); 
System.out.println("show list? " + showaslist); 
if(showaslist != null && showaslist.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
%>

<p> Welcome to the page </p>

<%}
else
{%>

<p> error in the connection </p>

<%}%>
