> ## Using Scripting

> JSP technology allows a container to support any scripting language that can call Java objects. If you wish to use a scripting language other than the default, `java`, you must specify it in the `language` attribute of the `page` directive at the beginning of a JSP page:

>     <%@ page language="scripting language" %>

> Because scripting elements are converted to programming language statements in the JSP page's servlet class, you must import any classes and packages used by a JSP page. If the page language is `java`, you import a class or package with the `import` attribute of the `page` directive:

>     <%@ page import="fully_qualified_classname, packagename.*" %>

> The `webclient` JSP page `response.jsp` uses the following `page` directive to import the classes needed to access the service classes:

>     <%@ page import=
>       "helloservice.endpoint.HelloService,
>         helloservice.endpoint.Hello" %>
