Answer / sangeeta

The <include> directive of JSP is used during the
translation process where servlet is generated.The files
which are static in nature should be used with this tag.

Whereas <jsp:include> action tag is used during the request
process where in changes can be incorporated dynamically.

Answer / ravikiran

Directive Include:
Directive include will include the included page to the
including page during translation time.Here the page will
included to the current page and compiled as a single
translation unit.And is mainly used when the including page
has some dependancy with the include page.

Action Include:
Action include will include the page during run time.means
the first page will will compiled individually and the
including page will compiled separetly and inclusion takes
place.so it's like a dynamic inclusion

Answer / samuel.t

We can say <%@ include ... %> is a static include.
The page which is included is changed then the including
page should also be changed.
For performance wise we can opt this,because the page is
inlcuded in the translation time.So only at the
first request it takes a momentary delay and comes to a
normal access from the second requests.


We can say <jsp:include ... > is a dynamic include.
The page which is included is changed, then it is not
required to change the main file.
Performance wise it is bit slow when compared to the
directive include because the page is included
only at the request time.
