In this example we shall show you how to add comments in a JSP page. JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a server-side programming technology that enables the creation of dynamic, platform-independent method for building Web-based applications. JSP have access to the entire family of Java APIs, including the JDBC API to access enterprise databases. To add comments in a JSP page one should perform the following steps:

Create a jsp page that begins with the <%code fragment%> scriptlet. It can contain any number of JAVA language statements, variable or method declarations, or expressions that are valid in the page scripting language.
Keep any html tags in the page outside the scriptlet.
Add JSP comment using the <%-- --%> tags.
Add HTML comments using the  tags.
You can add scriptlet code inside the comments, as shown below:

Comments.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>

<html>

<head>
	<title>Java Code Geeks Snippets - Comments in JSP Page</title>
</head>

<body>

	<%-- This is a JSP comment --%>
	
	<!-- This is an HTML comment -->
	
	<!-- Current date is <%= new Date() %> -->

</body>
