JSP Comments:
JSP comment marks text or statements that the JSP container should ignore. A JSP comment is useful when you want to hide or "comment out" part of your JSP page.
Following is the syntax of JSP comments:<%-- This is JSP comment --%>
Following is the simple example for JSP Comments:<html>
<head><title>A Comment Test</title></head>
<body>
<h2>A Test of Comments</h2>
<%-- This comment will not be visible in the page source --%>
</body>
</html>
This would generate following result:
<body>
<h2>A Test of Comments</h2>
<%-- This comment will not be visible in the page source --%>
</body>
</html>
This would generate following result:
A Test of Comments
