BUILDING STRONGER FOUNDATION
FOR SPRING BOOT

What is JSP?
JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a technology that
allows developers to create dynamically
generated web pages using HTML, Java code,
and other elements.

It’s essentially a simplified way to create web


content by embedding Java code directly into
HTML pages.
Why Learn JSP?
Foundation for Spring MVC: JSP is often
used as a view technology in Spring MVC
applications. Understanding JSP helps
grasp the underlying mechanisms of how
views are rendered in Spring Boot
applications.
Dynamic Content Generation: JSP allows
for the creation of dynamic web content,
where Java code can manipulate and
present data on the fly.
Legacy Support: Many existing Java web
applications still use JSP, making it
valuable to understand for maintaining
and upgrading these systems.
How JSP Works:
Compilation to Servlet: When a JSP page is
requested, the web server compiles it into
a Servlet class.

Servlet Execution: The generated Servlet


processes the request, executes
embedded Java code, and generates
dynamic content.

HTML Output: The result is sent back to


the client as an HTML page, providing a
seamless user experience.
Core Components of JSP
Directives: Instructions to the JSP engine.
Common directives include:
<%@ page %>: Defines page-level settings
like content type.
<%@ include %>: Includes a file during the
page translation phase.
<%@ taglib %>: Declares a custom tag
library.

Scriptlets: Java code embedded within HTML


using <% %> tags. Example
Core Components of JSP
Expressions: Shortcuts for outputting Java
expressions using <%= %> tags.

Declarations: Define methods or variables


that can be reused in the JSP page.

JSP Action Tags: Predefined actions that JSP


can perform, like including content from
another resource (<jsp:include>).
JSP vs. Modern Alternatives:
While JSP was a game-changer in early Java
web development, modern frameworks like
Spring Boot have largely replaced it with more
sophisticated and maintainable approaches
like Thymeleaf.
However, JSP remains relevant in
understanding the evolution of Java web
technologies.
