What Are JSP Pages?
JSP (Java Server Page) is a server-side scripting environment that you can use to create interactive Web pages and build powerful Web applications. When the server receives a request for a JSP file, it processes server-side java language code contained in the file to build the HTML web page that is sent to the browser. In addition to HTML and related client-side scripts like Javascript JSP files contain java language code which can perform a variety of tasks, such as connecting to a database and formatting returned data in an HTML format that can be displayed by any web browser.
