JSPs (Java Servlet Pages)
• JSPs are one of the core building blocks of Java web applications,
allowing us to combine HTML and Java seamlessly
• JSP lifecycle: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jsp/jsp_life_cycle.htm
• We can embed Java code into JSP with scriptlet tags
Scriplets
<%
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String mess = "Today is "+today;
%>
<%= mess %>
Or
<%
Output
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String mess = "Today is "+today;
out.println(mess);
%>

The include directive vs the include jsp tag
• Static include includes smth into the page, before compiling and sending it to the browser (directive)
• Dynamic include takes place at runtime (jsp tag)
Going from jsp page/servlet to another jsp
page/servlet
• In forward, you see the content of your forwarded page, but the url of the initial page.
• In redirect, you see for a second the content of your initial page, then you see your redirected page and, also, its
url.
