Java Server Pages (JSP) is same as the other web languages like XML ,HTML,PHP,the only difference is that it use java technology that all the java featyres like dynamic ,robust ,platform independece ect.are adapted in JSP
3. Introduction
• Java Server Pages (JSP) is a technology that helps software developers
create dynamically generated web pages based on HTML, XML, or other
document types. Released in 1999 by Sun Microsystems, JSP is similar to
PHP, ASP and React's JSX but it uses the Java programming language.
• JSP technology is used to create web application just like Servlet
technology. It can be thought of as an extension to servlet because it
provides more functionality than servlet such as expression language, jstl
etc.
• A JSP page consists of HTML tags and JSP tags. The jsp pages are easier to
maintain than servlet because we can separate designing and
development. It provides some additional features such as Expression
Language, Custom Tag etc.
5. Expression
• The code placed within JSP expression tag is written to the output
stream of the response. So you need not write out.print() to write
data. It is mainly used to print the values of variable or method.
• Syntax of JSP expression tag
<%= statement %>
6. Declarations
• The JSP declaration tag is used to declare fields and methods.
• The code written inside the jsp declaration tag is placed outside the
service() method of auto generated servlet.
• So it doesn't get memory at each request.
• The syntax of the declaration tag is as follows:
<%! field or method declaration %>
11. Java Beans
• In computing based on the Java Platform, JavaBeans are classes that
encapsulate many objects into a single object (the bean). They are
serializable, have a zero-argument constructor, and allow access to
properties using getter and setter methods.
