    Creating a simple JSP Page

    To create the first JSP page, write some HTML code as given below, and save it by .jsp
    extension. We have saved this file as index.jsp. Put it in a folder and paste the folder in
    the web-apps directory in apache tomcat to run the JSP page.
    index.jsp
    Let's see the simple example of JSP where we are using the scriptlet tag to put Java
    code in the JSP page. We will learn scriptlet tag later.
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <% out.print(2*5); %>
    4. </body>
    5. </html>
    It will print 10 on the browser.

    JSP scriptlet tag


    A scriptlet tag is used to execute java source code in JSP. Syntax is as follows:
    1. <% java source code %>
    Example of JSP scriptlet tag
    In this example, we are displaying a welcome message.
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <% out.print("welcome to jsp"); %>
    4. </body>
    5. </html>

    Example of JSP scriptlet tag that prints the user name


    In this example, we have created two files index.html and welcome.jsp. The index.html
    file gets the username from the user and the welcome.jsp file prints the username with
    the welcome message.
    File: index.html
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <form action="welcome.jsp">
    4. <input type="text" name="uname">
    5. <input type="submit" value="go"><br/>
    6. </form>
    7. </body>
    8. </html>
    File: welcome.jsp
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <%
    4. String name=request.getParameter("uname");
    5. out.print("welcome "+name);
    6. %>
    7. </form>
    8. </body>
    9. </html>
    JSP expression tag
    The code placed within JSP expression tag is written to the output stream of the
    response. So you need not write out.print() to write data. It is mainly used to print the
    values of variable or method.
    Syntax of JSP expression tag
    1. <%= statement %>
    Example of JSP expression tag
    In this example of jsp expression tag, we are simply displaying a welcome message.
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <%= "welcome to jsp" %>
    4. </body>
    5. </html>
    Note: Do not end your statement with semicolon in case of expression tag.
    Example of JSP expression tag that prints current time
    To display the current time, we have used the getTime() method of Calendar class. The
    getTime() is an instance method of Calendar class, so we have called it after getting the
    instance of Calendar class by the getInstance() method.
    index.jsp
    Advertisement
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. Current Time: <%= java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime() %>
    4. </body>
    5. </html>
    Example of JSP expression tag that prints the user name
    In this example, we are printing the username using the expression tag. The index.html
    file gets the username and sends the request to the welcome.jsp file, which displays the
    username.
    File: index.jsp
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <form action="welcome.jsp">
    4. <input type="text" name="uname"><br/>
    5. <input type="submit" value="go">
    6. </form>
    7. </body>
    8. </html>
    File: welcome.jsp
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <%= "Welcome "+request.getParameter("uname") %>
    4. </body>
    5. </html>
    JSP Declaration Tag
    1. JSP declaration tag
    2. Difference between JSP scriptlet tag and JSP declaration tag
    3. Example of JSP declaration tag that declares field
    4. Example of JSP declaration tag that declares method
    The JSP declaration tag is used to declare fields and methods.
    The code written inside the jsp declaration tag is placed outside the service() method of
    auto generated servlet.
    So it doesn't get memory at each request.
    Syntax of JSP declaration tag
    The syntax of the declaration tag is as follows:
    1. <%! field or method declaration %>
    Difference between JSP Scriptlet tag and Declaration tag

    Jsp Scriptlet Tag Jsp Declaration Tag

    The jsp scriptlet tag can only declare variables The jsp declaration tag can declare variables
    not methods. as well as methods.

    The declaration of scriptlet tag is placed inside The declaration of jsp declaration tag is placed
    the _jspService() method. outside the _jspService() method.

    Example of JSP declaration tag that declares field


    In this example of JSP declaration tag, we are declaring the field and printing the value
    of the declared field using the jsp expression tag.
    index.jsp
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <%! int data=50; %>
    4. <%= "Value of the variable is:"+data %>
    5. </body>
    6. </html>

    Example of JSP declaration tag that declares method


    In this example of JSP declaration tag, we are defining the method which returns the
    cube of given number and calling this method from the jsp expression tag. But we can
    also use jsp scriptlet tag to call the declared method.
    index.jsp
    1. <html>
    2. <body>
    3. <%!
    4. int cube(int n){
    5. return n*n*n*;
    6. }
    7. %>
    8. <%= "Cube of 3 is:"+cube(3) %>
    9. </body>
    10. </html>
