    JSP technology is used to create web application just like Servlet technology.

    It can be thought of as an extension to Servlet because it provides more


    functionality than servlet such as expression language, JSTL, etc.

    A JSP page consists of HTML tags and JSP tags. The JSP pages are easier to
    maintain than Servlet because we can separate designing and development. It
    provides some additional features such as Expression Language, Custom Tags,
    etc.

    Advantages of JSP over Servlet


    There are many advantages of JSP over the Servlet. They are as follows:

    1) Extension to Servlet

    JSP technology is the extension to Servlet technology. We can use all the
    features of the Servlet in JSP. In addition to, we can use implicit objects,
    predefined tags, expression language and Custom tags in JSP, that makes JSP
    development easy.

    2) Easy to maintain

    JSP can be easily managed because we can easily separate our business logic
    with presentation logic. In Servlet technology, we mix our business logic with
    the presentation logic.

    3) Fast Development: No need to recompile and redeploy

    If JSP page is modified, we don't need to recompile and redeploy the project.
    The Servlet code needs to be updated and recompiled if we have to change
    the look and feel of the application.

    4) Less code than Servlet

    In JSP, we can use many tags such as action tags, JSTL, custom tags, etc. that
    reduces the code. Moreover, we can use EL, implicit objects, etc.

    The Lifecycle of a JSP Page

    The JSP pages follow these phases:

    o Translation of JSP Page


    o Compilation of JSP Page
    o Classloading (the classloader loads class file)
    o Instantiation (Object of the Generated Servlet is created).
    o Initialization ( the container invokes jspInit() method).
    o Request processing ( the container invokes _jspService() method).
    o Destroy ( the container invokes jspDestroy() method).

    5. JSP Scripting Elements


    JSP provides the following scripting elements:
     JSP Comment <%-- comments -->
     JSP Expression <%= Java Expression %>
     JSP Scriptlet <% Java Statement(s) %>
     JSP Directive <%@ page|include ... %>

    Creating a simple JSP Page


    To create the first JSP page, write some HTML code as given below, and save
    it by .jsp extension. We have saved this file as index.jsp. Put it in a folder and
    paste the folder in the web-apps directory in apache tomcat to run the JSP
    page.

    index.jsp

    Let's see the simple example of JSP where we are using the scriptlet tag to put
    Java code in the JSP page. We will learn scriptlet tag later.

    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <% out.print(2*5); %>
    4. </body>
    5. </html>
