What are jsp actions?

JSP actions are XML tags that direct the server to use existing components or control the behavior of the JSP engine. JSP Actions consist of a typical (XML-based) prefix of "jsp" followed by a colon, followed by the action name followed by one or more attribute parameters.

There are six JSP Actions:

< jsp : include / >

< jsp : forward / >

< jsp : plugin / >

< jsp : usebean / >

< jsp : setProperty / >

< jsp : getProperty / >
