JSP ==>
JavaServer Pages
<programming, World-Wide Web> (JSP) A freely available specification for
extending the Java Servlet API to generate dynamic web pages on a web server.
The JSP specification was written by industry leaders as part of the Java
development program.
JSP assists developers in creating HTML or XML pages that combine static (fixed)
page templates with dynamic content. Separating the user interface from content
generation allows page designers to change the page layout without having to
rewrite program code. JSP was designed to be simpler than pure servlets or CGI
scripting.
JSP uses XML-like tags and scripts written in Java to generate the page content.
HTML or XML formatting tags are passed back to the client. Application logic can
live on the server, e.g. in JavaBeans.
JSP is a cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's Active Server Pages, which
only runs in IIS on Windows NT.
Applications written to the JSP specification can be run on compliant web
servers, and web servers such as Apache, Netscape Enterprise Server, and
Microsoft IIS that have had Java support added. JSP should soon be available on
Unix, AS/400, and mainframe platforms.
