I think they're supposed to be, but I have found that the META tags sometimes don't seem to work, whereas the JSP directive seems to be more reliable.

Are the HTML meta tags and the JSP tags interchangeable? i.e. are they the same thing?

It is perfectly right. You must take care not to have page directive with contentType attribute in any included pages. If you have only one such an entry per page then everything is alright. I suggest to start with simple pages and then move to sophisticated ones.

It tells me I can't have two "contentType" entries when I put in the JSP tag!!
