Working with JSP 2.0

The JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology has been a key part of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform for quite some time. The goal of the JSP technology is to simplify dealing with presentation and dynamic data on Web pages. JSP technology is based on Servlet technology; in fact, all JSP pages are eventually compiled into servlet code. However, writing a JSP page is far less involved than writing servlet code. In fact, page authors who don’t have Java experience often write JSP pages. A JSP page is a markup document that can be in either JSP syntax or Extensible Markup Language (XML) format.
