Directives

As a best practice for improved performance
and debugging, use JSP tags rather than directives in new development,
except for list view rules. Accept the default value JSP in
the Generate for field of the HTML tab of harness, section, flow action, HTML property,
and correspondence rules. Automatic conversion of directives to
equivalent JSP tags is fast and reliable. CLINB 5/17/06. See
About JavaServer Page tags and Converting from directives to JavaServer Page
tags.
Directives are used in rules that support:
The twelve directives govern how the system's stream processing facility converts and assembles a text stream for a user's browser, for outgoing correspondence, or for outgoing XML text.
