What are different JSP scriptlets ?

JSP provides different scriptlets to use java code in JSP.

1.Directives Tag

<%@ %>
-------------

This tag is used to include external content in our jsp

this tag has mainly three attributes

1.Page
2.taglib
3.include

<%@ taglib uri="relative UR""  prefix=""%>

when we have predefined,custom tags, we can include them in our JSP and use them with prefix.

<%@ page import="relaive url" %>

this works similar to import statement in Java.

<%@ include file="relative url"%>

include attribute can be used  to include external js,jsp and css files

file will  be included in our file during the translation phase.
