      <![CDATA[ <jsp:declaration> Tag 
    </span>
    <br/>

    <br/>
    <span class="paragraph"> A declaration tag declares one or more variables or
    methods that you can use in Java code later in the JSP page. You must declare
    the variable or method before you use it in the JSP page. You can declare any
    number of variables or methods within one declaration element, as long as you
    end each declaration with a semicolon. The declaration must be valid in the
    Java programming language.</span>
