Short for JavaServer Pages, JSP facilitates the generation of dynamic web pages using the Java programming language. It requires a servlet container (like Apache Tomcat) and a compatible server for use.

JSP delimiters

Like ASP (Active Server Pages) and PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor), JSP uses delimiters to separate programming code from HTML/XML code. Below are the three different delimiters that can be used.

  • <% %> - runs the enclosed Java code
  • <%= %> - displays the value of an expression
  • <%@ %> - denotes directives
