What's the difference between an import and include directive, and also the difference between..

Answer / vasanth

import directive is used to import any java classes into the jsp. eg : import java.lang.String, whereas include directive is used to include a content of another jsp.

'include' directive is used to include content from a jsp which is static for ever once the jspServlet created for it. The include jsp will not compipled each and every time it gets loaded Header and footer jsps can be included in this method.

If any jsp is included thru include action, the content of the jsp will be compiled and the respective output will be generated and rendered to the including jsp each and every time the including jsp is getting loaded.
