There are 2 kinds of comments: JSP comments and HTML comments.

  • JSP commet: <%-- comment text --%>

  • HTML/XML comment: <!-- comment -->

JSP comments are not exported to HTML and are ignored by the JSP Engine.

HTML comments are exported to HTML because they are valid HTML tags.

JSP.1.5.2 Comments in JSP Documents

Comments in JSP documents use the XML syntax... The body of the content is ignored completely. [3]

CDATA sections may occur anywhere character data may occur; they are used to escape blocks of text containing characters which would otherwise be recognized as markup. [4]

  2. java.net/jira/browse/JSP_SPEC_PUBLIC-105

Just use <!-- comment --> for comments. JSPX file uses XML syntax so that's the reason XML style comment work here.

Also read article Creating a JSP Document for understanding the difference between JSP standard syntax and XML syntax

Have you tried XML IGNORE?

<![IGNORE[
  <!-- commented out XML -->
]]>

Change IGNORE to INCLUDE when you want it back.
