JSP: JavaServer Pages

Presentation Outline

 Introduction
/ Motivation
 What is JSP?
 Advantages of using JSP
 How does JSP work?
 Syntax
 Examples
Introduction / Motivation
 Need to present dynamic content to web site users for
applications such as e-commerce, customized web
sites, etc
 Need to be able to access database or other server-
side resources
 Want to make development as fast and easy as
possible

Is there a solution?
What is JSP?

Why yes, there is!

• Server-side scripting language developed by Sun


Microsystems to create dynamic/interactive web
content
• Scripting done by Java code embedded within static
HMTL using XML-like JSP tags and ‘scriptlets’
• Allows for seamless integration of static HTML with
server-side Java
What is JSP?

 An extension to the Servlet API:


– Provides an abstraction above the level of the
Servlet
– Provides usage of the same core features and
services
– Allows integration with existing Java classes and
JavaBeans
Advantages

 JSP programming is easy!


(For anyone familiar with HTML and Java)
 No need to explicitly compile
 Can be deployed on virtually any platform; only
requires Apache web server and Tomcat
 Allows separation of dynamic and static
content
Process
Scope
Synchronization

 Default – Servlets instantiated only once


 Multithreaded to serve multiple instances
 Shared class variables, concurrence problems
 <%@ page is ThreadSafe = “false” %>
– Slow round robin service
Syntax
 Expressions
Expression is evaluated and placed in output
<%= expression %>
<%= new java.util.Date( ) %>

 Scriptlets
Code is inserted in service method.
<% code %>
Syntax
 Declarations
Code is inserted in body of servlet class, outside of
service method.
<%! code %>
<%! private int accessCount = 0; %>

 Directives
Messages that enable the programs to set the overall
structure of the resulting servlet.
<%@ settings %>
Syntax
 Page Directives
Directions to the servlet engine about general setup.
<%@ page att="val" %>
<%@ page import ="java.util.*" %>

 Include Directives
A file is inserted when the JSP page is translated.
<%@ include file=“Relative url" %>
Syntax
 Actions
Predefined tasks that are processed by the JSP
container at request time.

<jsp:include> Action
Includes a file at the time the page is requested.
<jsp: include page="banner.html" flush = "true" />
Syntax

<jsp:useBean> Action
Declares a Java Bean instance for use in the JSP
page.

<jsp:useBean id="courseBean"
class="coursepack.CourseListBean" />
Syntax
 <jsp: getProperty> Action
Gets a property in the specified JavaBean instance.
<jsp:getProperty name="courseBean"
property="courseColor" />

 Equivalent to expression:
<%= courseBean.getCourseColor(courseNumber) %>
Syntax
 <jsp: setProperty> Action
Sets a property in the specified JavaBean instance.
<jsp:setProperty name="courseBean"
property="courseColor" value="blue" />

Equivalent to expression:
<%= courseBean.setCourseColor("red") %>
