As the name implies, JSP action tags are used to perform various actions during the execution of JSP page. Here, each action performs some specific task. These tasks include:
- Forwarding the current page request to another page.
- Including external page to JSP page.
- Creating a JavaBean instance.
JSP provides additional functionality to JSP pages through these action tags. Unlike directive tags, action tag conveys the information to servlet container when request is being processed.
