JSPs are automatically converted to servlets before the container runs them.

Suppose there is jsp code 'myjsp.jsp'

< html >
< body >
Welcome to Roseindia Technologies
< / body >
< / html >

This JSP file has to be placed in the ?\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\webapps\examples\jsp folder in the system. To access this JSP through the tomcat server,use the below URL:

http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/myjsp.jsp.

When you hit enter after typing the contents above in the browsers address bar, tomcat covnerts this JSP into a servlet, compiles it and then invokes it.

The servlet that gets created will be placed in ?\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\work\localhost\examples\jsp as myjsp_jsp.java.

The contents of this converted Servlet would be as below:

package org.apache.jsp;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
import org.apache.jasper.runtime.*;

public class myjsp_jsp extends HttpJspBase {

static {
}
public myjsp_jsp( ) {
}

private static boolean _jspx_inited = false;

public final void _jspx_init()
throws org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspException {
}

public void _jspService(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws java.io.IOException, ServletException {

JspFactory _jspxFactory = null;
PageContext pageContext = null;
HttpSession session = null;
ServletContext application = null;
ServletConfig config = null;
JspWriter out = null;
Object page = this;
String _value = null;
try {

if (_jspx_inited == false) {
synchronized (this) {
if (_jspx_inited == false) {
_jspx_init();
_jspx_inited = true;
}
}
}
_jspxFactory = JspFactory.getDefaultFactory();
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=" +
"ISO-8859-1");
pageContext = _jspxFactory.getPageContext(this,
request, response, "",
true, 8192, true);

application = pageContext.getServletContext();
config = pageContext.getServletConfig();
session = pageContext.getSession();
out = pageContext.getOut();

out.write(">
\r\n< html >\r\n< body >"+
"\r\nWelcome to Roseindia Technologies"+
"\r\n\r\n\r\n");

// end

} catch (Throwable t) {
if (out != null && out.getBufferSize() != 0)
out.clearBuffer();
if (pageContext != null)
pageContext.handlePageException(t);
} finally {
if (_jspxFactory != null)
jspxFactory.releasePageContext(pageContext);
}
}
}
