Develop JSP using Java Studio Enterprise 8

Introduction to JSP
Java Server Pages (JSP) are saved with the
extension .jsp.
Efficiently controls dynamic content generation.
Uses Java programming language and class
libraries.
Uses HTML for presentation of pages and Java
code to access dynamic content.

<%@ include file="copyrightfile.html" %>

Include Directive

Static Content
Static content is the text written on a Web page.
Any text-based format can be used to write static
content.
A page directive is used to specify the format of
content.
<html>
<%@ page contentType = "text/html" %>
<head>
<title>Example for static content</title>
</head>
…
//Contains text in specified content type.
…
</body>
</html>
HTML tags contain
static content

JSP Directives
JSP container uses directives for processing of
JSP page.
Controls the structure of the Servlet
Provides global information about a JSP page
Scope of directives is the entire JSP file
<html>
...
<%@ page language="Java" import=
“java.rmi.*, java.util.*"
session="true" buffer="12kb" autoFlush="true"
info="PageDirective" errorPage="error.jsp"
isErrorPage="false"
isThreadSafe="true" %>
<head>
<title>Testing Page Directive</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Testing Page Directive</h1>
This page is testing Page Directive.
</body >
…

</html>

Demonstration: Example 1
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing include
directive</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Example of directives</h1>
<%@ include file ="testFile.html" %>
</body>
</html>
include Directive
// testFile.html
<html>
<body>
The JSP <b>"include"</b> directive example.
</body>
</html>

JSP Expression
Contains a Java statement
Value of Java Statement will be evaluated and
inserted into generated Web page.
Displays individual variables, or the result of
some calculation.
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing Expression directive</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Testing Expression directive </h1>
<% int i = 2, j=3;%>
<% i++;%>
<% j=j+i; %>
…
</body>
</html>
JSP Expression

JSP Scriptlet
Block of Java code that performs functions
which are not supported by tags.
Executed during run time
<html>
<head>
<title>Scriptlet of a JSP </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Scriptlet of a JSP</h1>
<%
int k=0;
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
k=k+i;
System.out.println(k);
}
%>
...
</body>
</html>
JSP Scriptlet

JSP Declaration
Used to define variables and methods in a JSP
page.
Declared variables and methods can then be
referenced by other scripting elements on the
same page.
Used to define single or multiple variables
<%!
int x = 0, y = 0;
private String units = "ft";
%>
Declares x and y as
integer variables
Declares units as
a String variable
<%!
public long fact (long x)
{
if (x == 0) return 1;
else return x * fact(x-1);
}
%>
Declares
fact method

JSP Actions
Allows the transfer of control between pages
Allows JSP pages to access JavaBeans
component objects stored on the server.
JSP Actions
Forward Include Plug-ins Bean tags

Forward Action
Permanently transfers control from a JSP page
to another location.
JSP Page 1
Forward
Action
JSP Page 2
Transfers control

Include Action 2-1
Inserts the content generated by remote
resource in the output of the current JSP page.
Temporarily transfers the control to a new page
JSP Page 1

JSP Page 2

return true;
}
return false;

JSP Declarations

JSP Plug-ins and Bean Tags
JSP Plug-ins - Used to generate browser-specific
HTML.
JSP Bean Tags – Used to interact with
JavaBeans stored on the server.

Summary
 JSP uses Java programming language and class
libraries.
 JSP page uses HTML to display static text and Java
code to generate dynamic content.
 Elements of JSP page are static content, JSP directives,
JSP expressions, and JSP scriptlets.
 A JSP page can be created using standard development
tools.
 JSP uses reusable and cross-platform components,
such as JavaBeans.
 JSP allows the creation of user-defined tags and makes
the JSP development process easy.
 Different phases in JSP life cycle are translation,
compilation, and execution.
