JSP scriptlet tag

A scriptlet tag is used to execute java source code in JSP.


Syntax is as follows:

<% java source code %>

Example of JSP scriptlet tag

In this example, we are displaying a welcome message.

<html> <body>

<% out.print("welcome to jsp"); %>

</body> </html>

Example of JSP scriptlet tag that prints the user
name

In this example, we have created two files index.html and


welcome.jsp.

the welcome.jsp file prints the username with the
welcome message.

2.2 JSP expression tag
The code placed within JSP expression tag is written to
the output stream of the response.

So you need not write out.print() to write data.

It is mainly used to print the values of variable or method.

Syntax of JSP expression tag

•<%= statement %>

Example of JSP expression tag

In this example of jsp expression tag, we are simply


displaying a welcome message.

<html>

<body>

<%= "welcome to jsp" %>

</body>

</html>

of expression tag.

2.2 JSP expression tag
Example of JSP expression tag that prints current time

To display the current time, we have used the getTime() method of


Calendar class. The getTime() is an instance method of Calendar class,
so we have called it after getting the instance of Calendar class by the
getInstance() method.

index.jsp

<html> <body>

Current Time:<%= java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime() >

</body> </html>

expression tag. The index.html file gets the username and sends
the request to the welcome.jsp file, which displays the
username.

•<form action="welcome.jsp">

•<input type="text" name="uname"><br/>

2.3 JSP Declaration Tag
The JSP declaration tag is used to declare fields and
methods.

The code written inside the jsp declaration tag is placed


outside the service() method of auto generated servlet.

So it doesn't get memory at each request.

Syntax of JSP declaration tag

The syntax of the declaration tag is as follows:

<%! field or method declaration %>
