The <%@ include file="..."%> directive is processed at the time your JSP page is
compiled, not when it is executed. Therefore, there is no opportunity for you to
calculate the name of the file to be included, because your scriptlet (or whatever)
isn't used until a request is made.
On the other hand, you can use <jsp:include> instead, for example:
<%
String pathname = "/page" + request.getParameter("page_number");
%>
<jsp:include page="<%= pathname %>" flush="true"/>
This works because <jsp:include> is processed at request time.
