Re: Diff between <@ and

thanks for your notes.
still when i run JRun web server, it identifies
<!--#page info="a hello world example" -->
and
<!--#include file="dukebanner.html" -->.
i do not know why this happens and the the page loads
properly.
if i use
<%@ include file="dukebanner.html" %>
the compiler shows a JSP parse error.
why is this happening.
