| (programming, World-Wide Web) | JavaServer Pages - (JSP) A freely available
specification for extending the Java Servlet API to
generate dynamic web pages on a web server. The JSP
specification was written by industry leaders as part of the
Java development program.
JSP assists developers in creating HTML or XML pages that
combine static (fixed) page templates with dynamic content.
Separating the user interface from content generation allows
page designers to change the page layout without having to
rewrite program code. JSP was designed to be simpler than
pure servlets or CGI scripting.
JSP uses XML-like tags and scripts written in Java to generate
the page content. HTML or XML formatting tags are passed
back to the client. Application logic can live on the server,
e.g. in JavaBeans.
JSP is a cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's Active Server Pages, which only runs in IIS on Windows NT.
Applications written to the JSP specification can be run on
compliant web servers, and web servers such as Apache,
Netscape Enterprise Server, and Microsoft IIS that have
had Java support added. JSP should soon be available on
Unix, AS/400, and mainframe platforms.
