JSP: What is the include directive?

There are thirteen attributes defined for a page directive of which the important attributes are as follows:

• The include directive is used to statically insert the contents of a resource into the current JSP.

• This enables a user to reuse the code without duplicating it, and includes the contents of the specified file at the translation time.

• The syntax of the include directive is as follows: <%@ include file = "FileName" %>

• This directive has only one attribute called file that specifies the name of the file to be included.
