Action tags are one of the factors in JSP pages, along with scripts, comments, and directives.
In JSP, action tags are implemented to perform some precise tasks.
Here are some most used action tags :
<jsp:forward> : to forward the request and response to other resources.
<jsp:forward page = "URL of another static, JSP, OR Servlet page" /><jsp:include> : to include another resource.
<jsp:include page = "Page URL" flush = "Boolean Value" /><jsp:param> : to set the parameter for (forward or include) value.
<jsp: param name = "param_name" value = "value_of_parameter" /><jsp:usebean> : to create or locate bean objects.
<jsp: useBean id="unique_name_to_identify_bean" class="package_name.class_name" />and so on.
Here, let us take a peek at some examples of these action tags.
<Forward Action Tag Example 1>
forwardForm1.jsp
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=euc-kr"%>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Forward Example</h1>
<form method=post action="forwardFrom1.jsp">
ID : <input type="text" name="id"><p>
Password : <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password"><p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
forwardFrom.jsp
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=euc-kr"%>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Page forwarding: forwardFrom1.jsp</h2>
<%
request.setCharacterEncoding("euc-kr");
%>
forwardFrom1.jsp content
<br> You will not see this on a browser.
<%
// request object
request.setAttribute("name", "Meadow");
%>
<jsp:forward page="forwardTo1.jsp" />
</body>
</html>forwardTo1.jsp
You will not see the forwarded data on the browser.
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=euc-kr"%>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Page forwarding: forwardTo1.jsp</h2>
<%
String id = request.getParameter("id");
String password = request.getParameter("password");

password is <b><%=password%></b>.
<jsp:forward page="forwardTo2.jsp"/>
</body>
</html>forwardTo2.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
ID : <%=request.getParameter("id")%> <br>
password : <%=request.getParameter("password")%> <br>
Print out the value shared by the request object.<br>
<%=request.getAttribute("name")%>
