ColdFusion MX supports JSP tags and pages in the following ways:
cfimport tag imports JSP tag libraries and lets you use its tags.
ColdFusion pages are not JSP pages, however, and you cannot use most JSP syntax on ColdFusion pages. In particular you cannot use the following features on ColdFusion pages:
Include, Taglib, and Page directives Instead, you use CFML import tag to import tag libraries, and the include (or forward) method of the page context object returned by the ColdFusion GetPageContext function to include pages. For more information, see Using JSP tags and tag libraries and Interoperating with JSP pages and servlets.
Expression, Declaration, and Scriptlet JSP scripting elements Instead, you use CFML elements and expressions.
JSP comments Instead, you use CFML comments. (ColdFusion ignores JSP comments and passes them to the browser.)
Standard JSP tags Such as jsp:plugin, unless your J2EE server provides access to these tags in a JAR file. Instead, you use ColdFusion tags and the PageContext object.
