11.12. XML Syntax for Directives

JSP permits you to use an alternative XML-compatible syntax for directives. These constructs take the following form:

<jsp:directive.directiveType
						attribute="value" />

For example, the XML equivalent of

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

is

<jsp:directive.page import="java.util.*" />
