JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a technology that combines cross-platform and Cross-Site Server Support to generate dynamic web Pages based on Java.
JSP is similar to Microsoft's Active Server Pages, but it uses HTML-like tags and Java code snippets instead of VBScript. When your website server does not provide local ASP support, that is, Apache or Netscape Server, you can consider using JSP. Although you can obtain additional ASP configuration modules for these servers, they are expensive, at present, Sun is not charged for the JSP components you need (although Sun may be charged in the future ). These controls are also easy to obtain for Solaris, Linux, and Windows.
Do not confuse JSP with server-side JavaScript. The website server automatically converts the Java code snippets written in JSP into Java servlets. Many features that must be controlled by Perl handwritten programs or server-specific APIs (such as ASP) can also be automatically processed through JSP.
