JavaServer Pages Technology

Stephanie Bodoff

JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology allows you to easily create Web content that has both static and dynamic components. JSP technology projects all the dynamic capabilities of Java Servlet technology but provides a more natural approach to creating static content. The main features of JSP technology are

• A language for developing JSP pages, which are text-based documents that describe how to process a request and construct a response
• Constructs for accessing server-side objects
• Mechanisms for defining extensions to the JSP language

JSP technology also contains an API that is used by developers of Web containers, but this API is not covered in this chapter.
