JSP -- include-file directive question..


in a directive like this..

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


can included file be anything other than a JSP? since in project I'm working on the included files contain only static content I made them html's so I don't have to precompile the site every time I make a change to them.. but I get cannnot-include error (before, they were JSP's; only get error now that converted them to .html's..)

thank you..
