Java Server Pages Overview

Structure of a JSP page

If we rename a .php file to a .jsp file in that case that page is a applicable JSP page and will compile and run effectively. But this .jsp page will be by means of default features provided to a JSP page and will not be doing everything useful. One other thing to keep in mind is that all JSP pages are compiled to Java Servlet classes, so inherently JSP pages are actually Java Servlets.

A JSP page consists of following parts:

1. Directives 2. Scripting Elements 3. JSP Tags
