Commenting Code in JSP

JSP comment

Used for commenting JSP tags base code (or JSP code) of JSP program. A JSP page compiler recognizes JSP comments. As JSP comments are visible in source, code of  JSP program and not visible in any other process of JSP program execution so these are called hidden comments. They are written like this:

<%–……..–>

HTML Comments

Used for commenting html code and text of JSP program. Html interceptor recognizes this type of comments. We use html comment on scripting JSP tags (scriptlet, declaration and expression) but we cannot use these comments on other JSP tags. They are written like this:

<!– ……………..–>Script comments

Java compiler recognizes this type of comments.

//:-used for commenting one line of code
