JSP Cheat Sheet

This document provides a summary of key elements in JSP including commenting, directives, scripting elements, action elements, the JSTL core tag library for control flow and data retrieval, and accessing databases. It outlines common tags like <jsp:include>, <c:forEach>, <c:if>, <c:choose>, <sql:query> and how they can be used to embed Java code, iterate over results and make decisions similarly to control structures in Java. It also discusses variable scopes for sharing data across pages, requests and sessions.

Page scoped data is destroyed when the page has finished generating its output. Request available in all pages processing the same client request. Once the request from that has completed, the request-scope data is destroyed. Session available to all requests made from the same user/client. Application available to all users of that application, while the application is running. e.g. <c:set var="sessionCounter" scope="session" value="${sessionCounter + 1}" />
