about JSP syntax

[Sujittt Tripathyrr]

Hi

I want to know about what is the differences between the JSP directive syntax and JSP XML syntax.Pls give any real time scneriaos.

Thanks

For what?

[Bear Bibeault]

The JSP Document syntax (the strict XML syntax ) is intended for the containers to use internally as an intermediary representation, or to make it easy for code to auto-generate JSP pages by serializing an internal DOM.

It is not intended for humans to hand-code or maintain.

'XML syntax' is a little ambiguous.

In older versions of JSP the <jsp:getProperty ../> tags were referred to as the XML Sytnax tags (as opposed to <%=beanName.getProperty()%>).

It is now possible to create an entire JSP page under a strict XML doctype; something different entirely.

Since you are asking about the difference between 'directives and xml syntax', I suspect you may be asking about the difference between <%@ page include...%> and <jsp:include .../> tags.

Please elaborate on your question so we understand what it is that you're asking.

Good point.

The OP needs to let us know whether he's inquiring about the difference between JSP Pages and JSP Documents, or the difference between directives and actions.

[Sujittt Tripathyrr]

My question is different between directive and actions.

Thanks

In that case, see the JSP FAQ where this is covered.

(And perhaps you've seen why it's important to be precise when asking questions).
