Beginning JSP web development

Java Server Pages allows developers to easily create dynamic, interactive web pages by embedding scripts directly into HTML and XML. These scripts make use of Java bean components. By separating presentation code from the generation of dynamic content, JSP also allows web designers to change the presentation of applications with minimal Java programming knowledge. Java Server Pages extend the functionality of web servers by performing server-side tasks such as HTML form processing, database queries, and report generation. Using Java Server Pages, developers can quickly create powerful intranet and web applications that incorporate enterprise resources such as databases, networked servers and distributed objects. JSP also offers numerous advantages over existing CGI scripting techniques, including portability, reusability, session tracking, performance, and ease of development.
