Explanation:
Taglib directive is used to define the tag library which is a collection of
tags. A Tag library can be a standard(pre-defined) or a custom(user-defined)
one. The "prefix" attribute is a must for custom as well as standard tags in jsp.
You must use a taglib directive before you use the custom tag in a JSP page. You can use more than one taglib directive in a JSP page, but the prefix defined in each must be unique.
JSP Syntex:
<%@ taglib uri="xyz" prefix="xyz"%>
Example: <%@ taglib uri="http://java.my.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
NOTE: As shown above, taglib in JSP has only two attributes, uri and prefix.
