Jasper exception occurring while trying to include a jsp page with dynamic URL

Question

Please look at the following code snippet and let me know what's wrong with that as I'm getting the below errors when trying to run it.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The jsp:param action must not be used outside the jsp:include, jsp:forward, or jsp:params elements

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Expecting "jsp:param" standard action with "name" and "value" attributes

Here's the code I'm trying to execute

<%
    String contextRoot = request.getContextPath();
    String stdInfoViewURL = contextRoot.concat("jsp/student/ViewStudentDetails.jsp"):
%>

<html><body>

<jsp:include page="<%=stdInfoViewURL%>" flush="true">

    <jsp:param name="studentId" value="ABC123" />
    <jsp:param name="studentName" value="MARK TAYLOR" />

</jsp:include>

</body></html>

I tried even declaring the java objects in following manner too. But no luck.

<%!
    String contextRoot = request.getContextPath();
    String stdInfoViewURL = contextRoot.concat("jsp/student/ViewStudentDetails.jsp"):
%>

are you still getting the error after adding `` inside ``? Because I did not get that error when i copy pasted your code — NAK, Dec 08 '17 at 06:30
Yes. I'm getting error. I even tried including them inside also. — Hari Krishna, Dec 08 '17 at 06:31
yes. but ignore that.. code is same. please let me know the error. — Hari Krishna, Dec 08 '17 at 06:48
my doubt is like it is not able to get the exact location of the file. Do you have any guess about how to point out directly to root of the application. — Hari Krishna, Dec 08 '17 at 07:11

Omit the contextRoot from your stdInfoViewURL and just do

String stdInfoViewURL = "/jsp/student/ViewStudentDetails.jsp":
