Definition of JSP

JSP stands for JavaServer Pages. JSP is specific technology that is designed to help integrate the server’s Java applications within the Web server. Java, a programming language, is used to generate writing programs or other types of web documents. Web users can download these applications safely and without worrying about viruses or other potential dangers. Small Java programs include applets that can be used to create animations, special effects, and calculators.

Through JSP capability, Java code can be embedded into static content as pre-defined actions that help to create an interactive experience for the Web user. In essence, JavaServer Pages are used to create dynamic webpages that are easy to create using this method. These pages are server-independent while being platform independent as well. With JSP, the overall content of webpages can be changed quite easily without changing the underlying content. JSP allows Web developers to design an information-rich website with relative ease.
