The tag lib directive is used in JSPs to include tag libraries.
< % @ taglib uri=http://www.myCompany.com/myTagLibrary prefix="myLibrary" % >
This is how you include a tag library into a JSP
The taglib directive in JSP is used to declare a set of custom tags defined in tag libraries that are used in the JSP page. It must be placed at the top of the JSP page and specifies the location of the tag library descriptor (TLD) file and the prefix to use when referencing the custom tags within the page. This allows developers to use custom tags in their JSP pages to encapsulate reusable functionality.
There is no limit as such. You can use one or more Page Directives in a JSP but you cannot have duplicates
The Page Directive is one of the important components of any JSP Page. It can help us define page specific properties like Buffer size or location of an error page etc A JSP page, and any files included via the include directive, can contain one or more page directives but no duplicates. The JSP container will apply all the attributes to the page. The position of these page directives is irrelevant, but it is good practice to keep them together at the top of the page. (So that we can identify them easily)
Containers or special directives, which group other directives... (open and close tag reffers to <>) directive example: Directory Container or especial directive example: <Directory> ......... </Directory>
You can display data in Tabular format in a JSP page using the HTML <Table> Tag. You can even assign dynamic values to the table using JSP Scriptlets. <% %>
You can use the errorPage attribute of the page directive. If this attribute is defined in a JSP page, when a run time exception is encountered, the control will be transferred to this JSP page. This error page can access details of the Exception from the request and use it to display a logical message to the user.
The Difference between JSTL and JSP is that, JSP lets the person add embedded Java code into HTML pages. Also JSP allows the person to define their own tags. JSTL is just a standard tag library provided by Sun to carry out common tasks.

A JSP File Contents:A JSP file can contain the following:a. HTML contentsb. JavaScriptc. Java CodeCombining the features of the above 3 mentioned items; we get a powerful entity called the JSP.

The HTML language was made in such a way so that the tags must be closed. An open tag will somewhere lead to an issue.
A JSP page consists of HTML markup mixed with Java code enclosed in scriptlet tags (<% %>), expression tags (<%= %>), declaration tags (<%! %>), and directive tags (<%@ %>). During execution, the JSP engine translates the page into a servlet, which can dynamically generate content to be sent to the client. JSPs allow for the separation of presentation and business logic in web applications.
JSP actions are XML tags that direct the server to use existing components or control the behavior of the JSP engine. JSP Actions consist of a typical (XML-based) prefix of "jsp" followed by a colon, followed by the action name followed by one or more attribute parameters. There are six JSP Actions: < jsp : include / > < jsp : forward / > < jsp : plugin / > < jsp : usebean / > < jsp : setProperty / > < jsp : getProperty / >
