| Java Server Page (JSP) is a technology for controlling
the content or appearance of Web pages through the use of servlets, small
programs that are specified in the Web page and run on the Web server to
modify the Web page before it is sent to the user who requested it. Sun
Microsystems, the developer of Java, also refers to the JSP technology as
the Servlet application program interface (API). JSP is comparable to Microsoft's
Active Server Page (ASP) technology. Whereas a Java Server Page calls a
Java program that is executed by the Web server, an Active Server Page contains
a script that is interpreted by a script interpreter (such as VBScript or
JScript) before the page is sent to the user. |
