JAVASERVER PAGES

Key Features
The key features of JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology combine to provide an easy and powerful way to build web pages with dynamically-generated content that are platform-independent.

Datasheet
Learn how JavaServer Pages and Java Servlet technologies enable web developers and designers to rapidly develop and easily maintain information-rich, dynamic web pages that leverage existing business systems.

Overview
This white paper provides an overview of the JSP technology, describing the background in which it was developed and the overall goals for the technology. It also describes the key components of a Java technology-based page, in the context of a simple example.

A Simplfied Guide to JavaServer Pages Technology
JavaServer Pages technology is a means for creating dynamic web-based content using server-side (middle-tier) processing. This guide (PDF) explores how JSP technology enables a tiered development methodology that lets organizations leverage internal programming expertise to create applications that are fast to deploy and easy to maintain.

JavaServer Pages Technology: Powering the Web Experience with Dynamic Content
JavaServer Pages technology is a major extension of the Servlet technology. This short paper describes how JSP technology extends the basic Servlet framework to enable easier and faster page authoring and maintenance and to support the distributed development model common in larger enterprises.

Developing XML Solutions with JavaServer Pages Technology
JSP technology easily integrates data from XML sources and supports the creation of XML documents. XML tags may be included as static template portions of the JSP page and beans and custom tags can dynamically generate and transform XML documents. This white paper (PDF) describes how to develop web applications that serve any type of XML client.

JavaServer Pages Technology for Servlet Developers
Are you already using Java Servlets? If so, you may wonder what advantages JavaServer Pages technology has for you. Find out how JSP technology extends servlet technology, (PDF) making it easier to combine fixed or static template data with dynamic content. With JSP technology, pages are actually compiled dynamically into servlets, so they have all of the benefits of servlets as well as access to Java APIs.

Comparing Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) and JavaServer Pages (JSP)
At first glance, ASP and JSP technologies have many similarities. However, the differences between these technologies are significant and have far-reaching implications for the developers and organizations who adopt them as part of a web-based architecture. This paper highlights the ASP and JSP differences.

Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages Technology: Comparing Methods for Server-Side Dynamic Content
This white paper (PDF) compares CGI, mod_perl, and PHP solutions with the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies for creating dynamic content with Java technology.
