Explain JSP scripting elements.

JSP scripting elements allow you to embed Java code within a JSP page. There are three types of scripting elements:

• Scriptlet: Enclosed within <% … %> tags, it allows you to write Java code that is executed when the page is processed.
• Declaration: Enclosed within <%! … %> tags, it allows you to declare variables, methods, and other members that can be accessed throughout the JSP page.
• Expression: Enclosed within <%= … %> tags, it allows you to embed Java expressions whose values are converted to strings and outputted directly to the response.
