12.12 XML Syntax for Directives

If you are writing XML-compatible JSP pages, you can use an alternative XML-compatible syntax for directives as long as you don't mix the XML syntax and the classic syntax in the same page. 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.*" />
