A JSP page is a server-side, text-based J2EETM component. Such a component executes in a container installed on a web server or on a web-enabled application server. The JSP container delivers requests from a client to a JSP page and responses from the JSP page to the client. When compiling a JSP page, the container dynamically translates the JSP source into a JavaTM class that implements the javax.servlet.Servlet interface.
A JSP page looks like a standard HTML or XML page, with additional scripting elements that the JSP engine processes and strips out. Typically, JSP elements create text that is inserted into the results page.
