JavaServer Pages

 

JavaServer Pages are application components coded to the JavaServer Pages Specification. JavaServer Pages enable the separation of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code from the business logic in Web pages so that HTML programmers and Java programmers can more collaborate in creating and maintaining pages.

JSP files support a division of roles:

HTML authors

Develop JSP files that access databases and reusable Java components, such as servlets and beans.

Java programmers

Create the reusable Java components and provide the HTML authors with the component names and attributes.

Database administrators

Provide the HTML authors with the name of the database access and table information.

WAS V6.1 supports the JSP 2.0 specification. The sub-topics below discuss WAS's JSP 2.0 implementation, focusing on configuration, tools and extensions.
