JSP Tags

Including Java Code

The tags for including java code in a JSP are <% %>.

<%
  int x = 0;
 
  x++;
%>

Including a File

There are two tags for including files.

<%@ include file="/path/from/wep/app/root/to/file" %>

This will include the file into the current JSP before the servlet is generated for the JSP.

<jsp:include page="/path/from/web/app/root/to/file" />

This will include the output of the file at runtime. If the file is a JSP, then the output genereated from the JSP will be included in the output of current JSP.
