Well <! .... > this is a jsp declaration and not a scriptlet.
There has been a lot of discussion on the difference, use of jsp declaration

All of which can be found at the mail archives of this list.
Please help yourself as well as this list by searching for them out there.
Have a nice day.
With regards,
Sachin S. Khanna.
