Java Server Pages (JSP) was created by Sun Microsystems as their solution for creating dynamic web content using HTML pages on the fly. Basically same principle of embedded code in a HTML page as explained in 3.5 ASP only in the JAVA perspective.

A JSP page has the extension .jsp and can use APIs the same as Java, because it is java embedded in HTML such as a system called JavaBeans. JavaBeans are like a library based system, in comparison using JavaBeans in JSP is much like the tag libraries in ColdFusion. NOT SURE ABOUT THAT IS THAT TRUE?

Both JSP and ColdFusion we derived from java. Using JavaBeans in JSP 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.

Scripts in JSP are usually embedded within HTML pages, but JSP can use other APIs in the same way as JAVA. This is because JSP’s heart is set in Sun’s JAVA technology, allowing JSP to merge its HTML feel with dynamic JAVA components resulting in rich dynamic web-based content/applications.

In a similar method to HTML’s use of tags, JSP can has several predefined tags available out of the box helping to reduce bloated or the need to duplicated code. JSP1.1 allowed developers to build their own tag based library, giving the ability to reuse and encapsulate code in an even better object orientated fashion.

JavaBeans are a similar principle to tags in ASP, both can be used to encapsulate functionality within pages. Tiring to differentiate which to use where is what JAVA developer Simon Brown reported on in his recent online article, he went on to describe JavaBeans as “non-visual components, better for maintaining session information” and tags as “actions common functionality that generates dynamic HTML or controls the page in some way” (Encapsulate reusable functionality, javaworld.com)

anyone please feel free!
