Folks,

I have consulted the wiki, Liliedahl book and the javadocs etc. I am trying
to do the very simple task of including an element of another file into my
jsp using the cms:include tag. For whatever reason, opencms keeps including
the entire target file instead of the named element. I must have a mistake
somewhere but i cant seem to find it. How does one do this? Here is what I
have in my calling JSP:

<cms:include
file="/system/modules/genvega/templates/common_elements/common.jsp"
 element="htmlhead"/>

and here is the common.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
    pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>
