What is the difference between Import and useBean

Title: JSP-INTEREST Digest - 30 Jan 2000 to 31 Jan 2000 (#2000-32)

I am a little confused where should I use import and where should I use useBean,

example: if I have a class that manipulates a string which method should I choose

<jsp:useBean id="stringManipulator" scope="session" class="myutils.string.StringManipulator" />

stringMainpulator.reverseString(astring);

<%@ page import="myutils.string.StringManipulator" %>

StringManipulator sm = new StringManipulator();

sm.reverseString(astring);

or if reverseString was a static method I would direclty write

StringManipulator.reverseString(astring);

So where should I use which style?
