Introduction To JSP

JSP technology is used to create dynamic web applications and is easier to maintain than servlets. JSP pages add Java code inside HTML using tags, whereas servlets add HTML inside Java code. JSP pages can access implicit objects, application-specific objects created in Java code, and shared objects to generate dynamic content. Setting up JSP involves installing Java and a web container like Tomcat, creating JSP files, and accessing them through the container.

Introduction to JSP

• JSP technology is used to create dynamic web applications.


• JSP pages are easier to maintain then a Servlet
• JSP pages are opposite of Servlets as a servlet adds HTML
code inside Java code, while JSP adds Java code inside
HTML using JSP tags.
• Everything a Servlet can do, a JSP page can also do it.
Java Server Pages
JSP vs Servlets
• JSP provides an easier way to code dynamic web pages.
• JSP does not require additional files like, java class files, web.xml etc
• Any change in the JSP code is handled by Web Container, and doesn't
require re-compilation
• JSP pages can be directly accessed, and web.xml mapping is not
required like in servlets.
Sample JSP Code
• <%-- JSP comment --%>
• <HTML>
• <HEAD>
• <TITLE>MESSAGE</TITLE>
• </HEAD>
• <BODY>
• <%out.print("Hello, Sample JSP code");%>
• </BODY>
• </HTML>
<%out.print(“ Hello, Sample JSP code ”);%>

• It is a JSP element, known as scriplet


• Scriptlets can contain Java codes.
• Syntax : <%Executable java code%>
• they must end with a semicolon(;)
Setting up the JSP Environment
• Java Development Kit(JDK) Setup
• Setup and install Apache Tomcat server
• Create a Folder within the Tomcat\Webapps folder
• Create a JSP file
• Run using localhost:8080/Folder-name/JSP_File.jsp
JSP Life Cycle
Initialization : jspinit()

Processing Response
Jspservice() Request

jspdestroy()
Generating Dynamic Content
• You create dynamic content by accessing Java programming
language objects from within scripting elements.
• Using Objects within JSP Pages
– Implicit Objects
– Application-Specific Objects
– Shared Objects
Implicit Objects
Application Specific Objects
• When possible, application behavior should be encapsulated in objects so that page designers
can focus on presentation issues.
• Objects can be created by developers who are proficient in the Java programming language
and in accessing databases and other services.
• There are four ways to create and use objects within a JSP page:
– Instance and class variables of the JSP page's servlet class are created
in declarations and accessed in scriptlets and expressions.
– Local variables of the JSP page's servlet class are created and used
in scriptlets and expressions.
– Attributes of scope objects are created and used in scriptlets and expressions.
– javaBeans components can be created and accessed using streamlined JSP elements.
Shared Object
• Used in JSP pages that run as multithreaded servlets.
• You can indicate how a Web container should dispatch multiple client requests with the
following page directive:
– <%@ page isThreadSafe="true|false" %>
• When isThreadSafe is set to true, the Web container may choose to dispatch multiple
concurrent client requests to the JSP page.
