Java Server Page (JSP) is a technology for controlling the content or appearance of Web pages
through the use of servlets, small
programs that are specified in the Web page and run on the Web server to modify the Web page before
it is sent to the user who requested it. Sun Microsystems, the developer of Java, also refers
to the JSP technology as the Servlet application program interface (API). JSP is comparable to
Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) technology. Whereas a Java Server Page calls a Java program
that is executed by the Web server, an Active Server Page contains a script
that is interpreted
by a script interpreter (such as VBScript or JScript) before
the page is sent to the user.
An HTML page that contains a link to a Java servlet is sometimes given the file name suffix of
.JSP.
