JSP.2.11 Actions

Actions may affect the current out stream and use, modify, and/or create objects. Actions may, and often will, depend on the details of the specific request object received by the JSP page.

The JSP specification includes some action types that are standard and must be implemented by all conforming JSP containers. New action types are introduced using the taglib directive.

The syntax for action elements is based on XML; the only transformation needed is due to quoting conventions.
