Advantage of using <jsp:include> over <%@include>

[nancy andrew]

Hi All,

I understand the differnce between <jsp:include> and <%@include>. In @include, the same servlet is created for the included jsp while in jsp:include two different servlet are presend in memory. @include is used to access static contents, while jsp:include is used when content changes dynamically. But i dont really understand what is the advantage to user if the same servlet is created or two differnent servlet are created internally. Please help me to understand this.

Thanks,
Nancy

<%@include> is static include
and <jsp:include> is dynamic include..
When you use <jsp:include> the file will be included at runtime but when you use <%@include> file will be included at compile time
