3.4 JavaServer Pages (JSP)

JSP is a scripting language, but unlike ASP mentioned above is better equipped to work with large sites and large enterprise databases.

An ASP page has the extension .jsp and can use a system called JavaBeans so it is like a library based system, in comparison using JavaBeans in JSP is much like the tag libraries in CFML. Both JSP and CFML we derived from java. Using JavaBeans in ASP allows the developer to easily change the logic of the web application without having to edit script on every .jsp page. This is a very impressive tool for developers and helps free up time by not doing repetitive tasks.

Good luck!

so am i safe to say jsp is a tag based langauge then not scripting?
no

JSP is a technology for embedding Java code into HTML code

This combined code is then converted into a servlet dynamically by the servlet container

http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/faq.html

JSP tags are an extension of this, which "...define declarative, modular functionality that can be reused by any JSP page. Tag libraries reduce the necessity to embed large amounts of Java code in JSP pages by moving the functionality of the tags into tag implementation classes."

It is not scripting though...
o, ok that changes what i was told,  all lanaguges are tag or script based? thanks for all your help.
>> all lanaguges are tag or script based?

There are both types of languages out there, you can't say they are all one or the other
Good luck with the report!! :-D
