Question: Which JSP directive do you prefer (compile time or run time) and why? Discuss.

Answer1: The decision to opt between a compile time directive versus a run time directive depends on the nature of the application in discussion.

A compile time directive is most likely the option of choice when the goal is to implement an application for which the code being compiled is unlikely to be changed often. This is the case because, since the code doesnt change often, it wont be needed to re-compiled the coded for every request the server receives related to it. This maneuver saves time during run time allowing the server to be quicker in responding to a client request.

On the other hand, a run time directive is most likely to be the option of choice when the goal is to implement an application for which the code being compiled is likely to be changed often. This is the case because, since the code changes often, it is preferable to recompile at run time assuring that the latest version of the code is being used to fulfill the request.

Answer2:

I prefer the compile time directive for most cases as there is a higher risk of a run-time exception when using the run-time directive. In addition, the run-time directive adds more overhead as the servlet will make a run-time call to get the included file each time the page is requested. Obviously, it boils down to requirements. In general, if the included files won't be changing then the compile time directive is more efficient.
