Put a "/" before "WEB-INF" like this,

<script type="text/javascript" src='<c:url value="/WEB-INF/includes/header.js"/>'></script>

and it will work fine. :)

<script type="text/javascript">
<%@include file="../foo.js" %>
</script>

foo.js is under WEB-INF/jsp and the file include it is under WEB-INF/jsp/mon
