Java Server Pages: Softsmith Infotech

JSP (Java Server Pages) is a technology that allows mixing Java code with HTML code to create dynamic web pages. JSP files are translated into Java servlets by Tomcat before being executed. JavaScript code is executed by the web browser and allows manipulating browser objects and handling client-side events. Common elements used in JSP include scriptlets, expressions, declarations, directives, comments, and actions; while common events handled by JavaScript include click, submit, mouseover, mouseout, load, and unload.

Java Server Pages


JSP (Java Server Pages) is an alternate way of creating servlets JSP is written as ordinary HTML, with a little Java mixed in The Java is enclosed in special tags, such as <% ... %> The HTML is known as the template text JSP files must have the extension .jsp JSP is translated into a Java servlet, which is then compiled Servlets are run in the usual way The browser or other client sees only the resultant HTML, as usual Tomcat knows how to handle servlets and JSP pages

Jsp Execution

JSP scripting elements


There is more than one type of JSP tag, depending on what you want done with the Java <%= expression %> The expression is evaluated and the result is inserted into the HTML page <% code %> The code is inserted into the servlet's service method This construction is called a scriptlet <%! declarations %> The declarations are inserted into the servlet class, not into a method

Softsmith Infotech

Example JSP
<HTML> <BODY> Hello! The time is now <%= new java.util.Date() %> </BODY> </HTML>

Notes: The <%= ... %> tag is used, because we are computing a value and inserting it into the HTML The fully qualified name (java.util.Date) is used, instead of the short name (Date), because we havent yet talked about how to do import declarations

Variables
You can declare your own variables, as usual JSP provides several predefined variables request : The HttpServletRequest parameter response : The HttpServletResponse parameter session : The HttpSession associated with the request, or null if there is none out : A JspWriter (like a PrintWriter) used to send output to the client Example: Your hostname: <%= request.getRemoteHost() %>

Scriptlets
Scriptlets are enclosed in <% ... %> tags Scriptlets do not produce a value that is inserted directly into the HTML (as is done with <%= ... %>) Scriptlets are Java code that may write into the HTML Example: <% String queryData = request.getQueryString(); out.println("Attached GET data: " + queryData); %> Scriptlets are inserted into the servlet exactly as written, and are not compiled until the entire servlet is compiled Example: <% if (Math.random() < 0.5) { %> Have a <B>nice</B> day! <% } else { %> Have a <B>lousy</B> day! <% } %>

Declarations
Use <%! ... %> for declarations to be added to your servlet class, not to any particular method Caution: Servlets are multithreaded, so nonlocal variables must be handled with extreme care If declared with <% ... %>, variables are local and OK Data can also safely be put in the request or session objects Example: <%! private int accessCount = 0; %> Accesses to page since server reboot: <%= ++accessCount %> You can use <%! ... %> to declare methods as easily as to declare variables

Directives
Directives affect the servlet class itself A directive has the form: <%@ directive attribute="value" %> or <%@ directive attribute1="value1" attribute2="value2" ... attributeN="valueN" %> The most useful directive is page, which lets you import packages Example: <%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

JSP Comments
Different from HTML comments. HTML comments are visible to client. <!-- an HTML comment -->

JSP comments are used for documenting JSP code . JSP comments are not visible client-side.
<%-- a JSP comment --%>

The include directive


The include directive inserts another file into the file being parsed The included file is treated as just more JSP, hence it can include static HTML, scripting elements, actions, and directives Syntax: <%@ include file="URL " %> The URL is treated as relative to the JSP page If the URL begins with a slash, it is treated as relative to the home directory of the Web server The include directive is especially useful for inserting things like navigation bars

11

Actions
Actions are XML-syntax tags used to control the servlet engine <jsp:include page="URL " /> Inserts the indicated relative URL at execution time (not at compile time, like the include directive does) This is great for rapidly changing data <jsp:forward page="URL" /> <jsp:forward page="<%= JavaExpression %>" /> Jump to the (static) URL or the (dynamically computed) JavaExpression resulting in a URL

JSP in XML
JSP can be embedded in XML as well as in HTML Due to XMLs syntax rules, the tags must be different (but they do the same things) HTML: <%= expression %> XML: <jsp:expression>expression</jsp:expression> HTML: <% code %> XML: <jsp:scriptlet>code</jsp:scriptlet> HTML: <%! declarations %> XML: <jsp:declaration>declarations</jsp:declaration> HTML: <%@ include file=URL %> XML: <jsp:directive.include file="URL"/>

Action useBean tag


The useBean action tag is the most commonly used tag because of its powerful features. It allows a JSP to create an instance or receive an instance of a Java Bean.
It is used for creating or instantiating a bean with a specific name and scope. Examples <jsp:useBean id=time" scope="session" class="com.time.CurrentTimeBean" />

Session in jsp
In session management whenever a request comes for any resource, a unique token is generated by the server and transmitted to the client by the response object and stored on the client machine as a cookie. Session management (i) Session Object (ii) Cookies (iii) Hidden Form Fields (iv) URL Rewriting

Javascript

Softsmith Infotech

16

JavaScript language
The JavaScript language is an interpreted, object oriented based scripting language. JavaScript coding statements are commonly embedded inside a webpage using the HTML tags <SCRIPT> </SCRIPT>. When the web browser is rendering the webpage, any JavaScript coding statements encountered are immediately interpreted and run before the rendering continues.

Where to use JavaScript


Verify the end user input data contains legitimate data values.

Handle any arithmetic or logic processing that needs to be executed on the web browser.
Directly manipulate the web browser objects such as the status bar, address bar, and the web browser's rendered controls (such as textboxes, selection lists, etc...). Handle and process client-side events that have been generated.

How to run JavaScripts


JavaScript statements are interpreted and run by the web browser

Most common web browsers contain a JavaScript interpreter program


interpret and run the JavaScript commands that have been embedded inside a webpage.

Question1: In a web application, which entity executes JSPs?

Question2: In a web application, which entity executes JavaScript commands?

Events
An event is an identifiable occurrence or action that has taken place in the system. Writing programs that generate and handle events is known as event programming. Events are typically generated in the following ways. GUI programs can generate an event to indicate there has been some interaction between the widget and the end user. when an end user presses a button, a click event is generated. Input/output programs can generate an event to indicate an input/output event has occurred. A mouse event is generated when the end user moves the mouse.

Binding Events

22

Binding Events
In client side web programming, the web browser contains it's own event listener. Therefore you must do two things in order to process an event that has been generated. 1. Write the code that binds the event to the event handler. 2. Write the code for the event handler.

Common web browser events


Event Description

click

Used to indicate an entity (usually a control) has been clicked Used to indicate the submit button has been pushed Used to indicate the mouse cursor has been moved over the entity. Typically the entity is a control or an anchor. Used to indicate the mouse cursor has been moved away from the entity. Typically the entity is a control or an anchor. Used to indicate the webpage has been completely parsed and loaded into the web browser. Used to indicate the webpage has been unloaded from the web browser. Unloading a webpage occurs when the web browser is about to load another webpage. The unload event is the last event that will be generated from the current webpage before the next webpage is loaded. When the web Softsmith 24 browser is closed or exited, the unload eventInfotech is not generated.
