JSP Implicit Objects
• There are 9 jsp implicit objects.
• These objects are created by the web
container that are available to all the jsp
pages.
• The available implicit objects are out, request,
config, session, application etc
A list of the 9 implicit objects
1) JSP out implicit object
For writing any data to the buffer, JSP provides an implicit object
named out. It is the object of JspWriter. In case of servlet you
need to write:
PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
But in JSP, you don't need to write this code.
In this example we are simply displaying time.
index.jsp
<html>
<body>
<
% out.print("Today is:"+java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime())
; %>
</body>
</html>
2) JSP request implicit object
• The JSP request is an implicit object of type
HttpServletRequest i.e. created for each jsp
request by the web container.
• It can be used to get request information such
as parameter, header information, remote
address, server name, server port, content
type, character encoding etc.
• It can also be used to set, get and remove
attributes from the jsp request scope.
Example of JSP request implicit object
index.html
<form action="welcome.jsp">
<input type="text" name="uname">
<input type="submit" value="go"><br/>
</form>
welcome.jsp
<%
String name=request.getParameter("uname");
out.print("welcome "+name);
%>
3) JSP response implicit object
• In JSP, response is an implicit object of type
HttpServletResponse.
• The instance of HttpServletResponse is
created by the web container for each jsp
request.
• It can be used to add or manipulate response
such as redirect response to another resource,
send error etc.
4) JSP config implicit object
• In JSP, config is an implicit object of
type ServletConfig.
• This object can be used to get initialization
parameter for a particular JSP page.
• The config object is created by the web
container for each jsp page.
• Generally, it is used to get initialization
parameter from the web.xml file.
Example of config implicit object:
index.html
<form action="welcome">
<input type="text" name="uname">
<input type="submit" value="go"><br/>
</form>
web.xml file
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>sonoojaiswal</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/welcome.jsp</jsp-file>
<init-param>
<param-name>dname</param-name>
<param-value>sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>sonoojaiswal</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/welcome</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
welcome.jsp
<%
out.print("Welcome “
+request.getParameter("uname"));
String driver=config.getInitParameter("dname");
out.print("driver name is="+driver);
%>
5) JSP application implicit object
• In JSP, application is an implicit object of
type ServletContext.
• The instance of ServletContext is created only
once by the web container when application
or project is deployed on the server.
• This object can be used to get initialization
parameter from configuaration file (web.xml).
• It can also be used to get, set or remove
attribute from the application scope.
welcome.jsp
<%
out.print("Welcome "+request.getParameter
("uname"));
String driver=application.getInitParameter("dna
me");
out.print("driver name is="+driver);

%>
6) session implicit object
In JSP, session is an implicit object of type HttpSession.The
Java developer can use this object to set,get or remove
attribute or to get session information.
index.html
<html>
<body>
<form action="welcome.jsp">
<input type="text" name="uname">
<input type="submit" value="go"><br/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
welcome.jsp
<html>
<body>
<%

String name=request.getParameter("uname");
out.print("Welcome "+name);
session.setAttribute("user",name);
<a href="second.jsp">second jsp page</a>
%>
</body>
</html>
second.jsp
<html>
<body>
<%

String name=(String)session.getAttribute("user");
out.print("Hello "+name);

%>
</body>
</html>
7) pageContext implicit object
In JSP, pageContext is an implicit object of type
PageContext class.
The pageContext object can be used to set,get
or remove attribute from one of the following
scopes:
• page
• request
• session
• application
Example of pageContext implicit object

index.html
<html>
<body>
<form action="welcome.jsp">
<input type="text" name="uname">
<input type="submit" value="go"><br/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
welcome.jsp
<html>
<body>
<%
String name=request.getParameter("uname");
out.print("Welcome "+name);
pageContext.setAttribute("user",name,PageContext.SESSIO
N_SCOPE);
<a href="second.jsp">second jsp page</a>
%>
</body>
</html>
second.jsp
<html>
<body>
<%

String name=(String)pageContext.getAttribute("user",Pa
geContext.SESSION_SCOPE);
out.print("Hello "+name);

%>
</body>
</html>
8) page implicit object:
In JSP, page is an implicit object of type Object
class.
his object is assigned to the reference of auto
generated servlet class. It is written as:
Object page=this;
