JSP pages are made out of a page template, which consists of HTML code and JSP elements such as scripting elements, directive elements, and action elements.

Directive elements are used to define page-dependent attributes, such as session tracking, error page, and buffering requirements.
Action elements are used to perform specific tasks, such as controlling the flow between pages and using Java Beans.
Scripting elements allow the writing of Java code statements within the JSP page. JSP 2.0 added new components as an Expression Language (EL), which is a fourth element type.
