Tag libraries are Java code which you can put as action into jsp. Example:

  
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic"%>
 
<logic:iterate ....>
</logic:iterate>

This tag for example do the iteration over collection. You don't need put scriptlet into your jsp page. That is the purpose of tags.
