Agenda
Understanding the need for JSP
Evaluating the benefits of JSP
Comparing JSP to other technologies
Avoiding JSP misconceptions
Understanding the JSP lifecycle
Installing JSP pages
Looking at JSP in the real world

4
The Need for JSP
With servlets, it is easy to
Read form data
Read HTTP request headers
Set HTTP status codes and response headers
Use cookies and session tracking
Share data among servlets
Remember data between requests
Get fun, high-paying jobs
But, it sure is a pain to
Use those println statements to generate HTML
Maintain that HTML

5
The JSP Framework
Idea:
Use regular HTML for most of page
Mark servlet code with special tags
Entire JSP page gets translated into a servlet (once), and
servlet is what actually gets invoked (for each request)
Example:
<!DOCTYPE >
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Order Confirmation</TITLE>
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET
HREF="JSP-Styles.css"
TYPE="text/css">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H2>Order Confirmation</H2>
Thanks for ordering
<I><%= request.getParameter("title") %></I>!
</BODY></HTML>
6
Benefits of JSP
Although JSP technically cant do anything
servlets cant do, JSP makes it easier to:
Write HTML
Read and maintain the HTML
JSP makes it possible to:
Use standard HTML tools such as DreamWeaver
Have different members of your team do the HTML
layout than do the Java programming
JSP encourages you to
Separate the (Java) code that creates the content from the
(HTML) code that presents it
7
Higher-Level Alternative: JSF 2
Servlets and JSP
Well-established standard
Used by google.com, ebay.com, walmart.com, and thousands
of other popular sites
Relatively low level by todays standards
Covered in this tutorial
JSF (JavaServer Faces) Version 2
Now an official part of Java EE 6
But runs in any recent Java-enabled server, including Tomcat 6+
Higher-level features: integrated Ajax support, field
validation, page templating, rich third-party component
libraries, etc. Designed around the MVC approach.
Not yet as widely used, but recommended for many or most
new projects
Covered at http://www.coreservlets.com/JSF-Tutorial/jsf2/
8
Advantages of JSP Over
Competing Technologies
Versus ASP or ColdFusion
Better language for dynamic part
Portable to multiple servers and operating systems
Versus PHP
Better language for dynamic part
Better tool support
Versus pure servlets
More convenient to create HTML
Can use standard tools (e.g., DreamWeaver)
Divide and conquer
JSP programmers still need to know
servlet programming
9
Advantages of JSP (Continued)
Versus Velocity or WebMacro
Standard
Versus client-side JavaScript (in browser)
Capabilities mostly do not overlap with JSP, but
You control server, not client
Richer language
Versus server-side JavaScript
(e.g., LiveWire, BroadVision)
Richer language
Versus static HTML
Dynamic features
Adding dynamic features no longer
all or nothing decision
10
Setting Up Your Environment
Set your CLASSPATH. Not.
Compile your code. Not.
Use packages to avoid name conflicts. Not.
Put JSP page in special directory. Not.
Use the WebContent folder in Eclipse
Same as for HTML, GIF, JPEG, CSS, etc.
Use special URLs to invoke JSP page. Not.
Use same URLs as for HTML pages (except for file
extensions)
Caveats
Previous rules about CLASSPATH, install dirs, etc., still
apply to regular Java classes used by a JSP page
11
Example
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>JSP Expressions</TITLE>
<META NAME="keywords"
CONTENT="JSP,expressions,JavaServer Pages">
<META NAME="description"
CONTENT="A quick example of JSP expressions.">
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET
HREF="JSP-Styles.css"
TYPE="text/css">
</HEAD>

12
Example (Continued)
<BODY>
<H2>JSP Expressions</H2>
<UL>
<LI>Current time: <%= new java.util.Date() %>
<LI>Server: <%= application.getServerInfo() %>
<LI>Session ID: <%= session.getId() %>
<LI>The <CODE>testParam</CODE> form parameter:
<%= request.getParameter("testParam") %>
</UL>
</BODY></HTML>

13
Example: Result
If Eclipse project was
jsp-scripting
And folder was
WebContent
And file was
Expressions.jsp
URL would be
http://hostname/jsp-scripting/Expressions.jsp

14
Most Common Misunderstanding
Forgetting JSP is Server-Side Technology
Very common question
I cant do such and such with HTML.
Will JSP let me do it?
Why doesnt this question make sense?
JSP runs entirely on server
It doesnt change content the client (browser) can handle
Similar questions
How do I put a normal applet in a JSP page?
Answer: send an <applet> tag to the client
How do I put an image in a JSP page?
Answer: send an <img> tag to the client
How do I use JavaScript/Acrobat/Shockwave/Etc?
15
Answer: send the appropriate HTML tags
2nd Most Common Misunderstanding
Translation/Request Time Confusion
What happens at page translation time?
JSP constructs get translated into servlet code.
What happens at request time?
Servlet code gets executed. No interpretation of JSP
occurs at request time. The original JSP page is totally
ignored at request time; only the servlet that resulted from
it is used.
When does page translation occur?
Typically, the first time JSP page is accessed after it is
modified. This should never happen to real user
(developers should test all JSP pages they install).
Page translation does not occur for each request.

Summary
JSP is more convenient, not more powerful
JSP makes it easier to create and maintain HTML, while
still providing full access to servlet code
JSP pages get translated into servlets
It is the servlets that run at request time
Client does not see anything JSP-related
You still need to understand servlets
Understanding how JSP really works
Servlet code called from JSP
Knowing when servlets are better than JSP
Mixing servlets and JSP
Other technologies use similar approach,
But arent as portable and dont let you use Java for the
real code
