hi,

if u see the JSP speciicaton...it wont allow u to implement any interfaces in the jsp.

[Kriti Garg]

Can u tell why there is restriction of not implementing an interface in jsp?

[Ben Souther]

What do you mean implement an interface?
Do you want the JSP itself to be an implementation of something?
If so, why?

[Kriti Garg]

I mean in page directive of jsp
we have 'extends' but not 'implements' why is it so?

[Ben Souther]

Adding an 'implements' directive would make a JSP an "instance of" something.
Why would you want to do that?

JSP is a templating technology for displaying markup pages.
What would the 'implement' directive give you?
What would you do with it?
