The document contains answers to questions about various Java Server Pages (JSP) and servlet concepts. It defines expression tags in JSP as tags used to insert Java values directly into output using <%= expression %> syntax. It describes two types of comments in JSP - hidden comments that do not appear in output and output comments that do appear in output. It also explains JSP declarations as tags used to declare variables and functions using <%! %> tags. The document also discusses scriptlets as JSP tags used to enclose Java code using <% %> tags, the two types of servlets (GenericServlet and HttpServlet), and differences between servlets and applets.

Question 14)What is expression in JSP?

Answer: 14 Expression tag is used to insert Java values directly into the
output. Syntax for the Expression tag is:
<%= expression %>
An expression tag contains a scripting language expression that is
evaluated, converted to a String, and inserted where the expression
appears in the JSP file. The following expression tag displays time on the
output:
<%=new java.util.Date()%>

Question 15) What types of comments are available in the JSP?


Answer:15 There are two types of comments are allowed in the JSP. These
are hidden and output comments. A hidden comments does not appear in
the generated output in the html, while output comments appear in the
generated output.
Example of hidden comment:
<%-- This is hidden comment --%>
Example of output comment:
<!-- This is output comment -->

Question 16) What is JSP declaration?


Answer:16) JSP Decleratives are the JSP tag used to declare variables.
Declaratives are enclosed in the <%! %> tag and ends in semi-colon. You
declare variables and functions in the declaration tag and can use
anywhere in the JSP. Here is the example of declaratives:
<%@page contentType="text/html" %>
<html>
<body>
<%!
int cnt=0;
private int getCount(){
//increment cnt and return the value
cnt++;
return cnt;
}
%>
<p>Values of Cnt are:</p>
<p><%=getCount()%></p>
</body>
</html>

Question 17): What is JSP Scriptlet?


Answer:17 JSP Scriptlet is jsp tag which is used to enclose java code in
the JSP pages. Scriptlets begins with <% tag and ends with %> tag. Java
code written inside scriptlet executes every time the JSP is invoked.
Example:
<%
//java codes
String userName=null;
userName=request.getParameter("userName");
%>
Question 18): What are the types of Servlet?
Answer:18 There are two types of servlets, GenericServlet and HttpServlet.
GenericServlet defines the generic or protocol independent servlet.
HttpServlet is subclass of GenericServlet and provides some http specific
functionality like doGet and doPost methods.
Question 19): What are the differences between HttpServlet and Generic
Servlets?
Answer:19 HttpServlet Provides an abstract class to be subclassed to create
an HTTP servlet suitable for a Web site. A subclass of HttpServlet must
override at least one method, usually one of these:
doGet, if the servlet supports HTTP GET requests
doPost, for HTTP POST requests
doPut, for HTTP PUT requests
doDelete, for HTTP DELETE requests
init and destroy, to manage resources that are held for the life of the
servlet
getServletInfo, which the servlet uses to provide information about
itself
There's almost no reason to override the service method. service handles
standard HTTP requests by dispatching them to the handler methods for
each HTTP request type (the doXXX methods listed above). Likewise, there's
almost no reason to override the doOptions and doTrace methods.
GenericServlet defines a generic, protocol-independent servlet. To write an
HTTP servlet for use on the Web, extend HttpServlet instead.
GenericServlet implements the Servlet and ServletConfig interfaces.
GenericServlet may be directly extended by a servlet, although it's more
common to extend a protocol-specific subclass such as HttpServlet.
GenericServlet makes writing servlets easier. It provides simple versions of
the lifecycle methods init and destroy and of the methods in the
ServletConfig interface. GenericServlet also implements the log method,
declared in the ServletContext interface.
To write a generic servlet, you need only override the abstract service
method.
Question 20): Differentiate between Servlet and Applet.
Answer:20 Servlets are server side components that execute on the server
whereas applets are client side components and executes on the web
browser. Applets have GUI interface but there is not GUI interface in case of
Servlets.
