JSP Tutorials and examples, you will find many examples with working source code.

  1. Introduction to JSP
    Java Server Pages or JSP for short is Sun's solution for developing dynamic web sites. JSP provide excellent server side scripting support for creating database driven web applications.
       
  2. JSP Tutorials - Introducing Java Server Pages Technology
    JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology is the Java platform technology for delivering dynamic content to web clients in a portable, secure and well-defined way.
        
  3. JSP Architecture
    JPS pages are high level extension of servlet and it enable the developers to embed java code in html pages. JSP files are finally compiled into a servlet by the JSP engine. Compiled servlet is used by the engine to serve the requests.
       
  4. Introduction to the JSP tags(This section also describe JSP Directives)

JSP Fundamentals
This is an excellent tutorial on JSP for the beginners. Tutorial describes how to use Bean in JSP, Connection Pooling in JSP and the use of taglibs. 

    • JSP Fundamentals
      JSP termed as Java Server Pages is a technology introduced by Sun Microsystems Inc. to develop the web application in more efficient way than Servlets. It has got many advanced features than servlets, one of them itself define the JSP i.e. JSP separates the presentation logic from the business logic and provide the designer and developer of the web application to work independently without any hassle.
         
    • Using Beans in JSP
      Java Beans are reusable components. They are used to separate Business logic from the Presentation logic. Internally, a bean is just an instance of a class.
           
    • JSP Taglibraries
      JSP�s offer a unique feature of �Tag Libraries�. Simply put, these are custom defined JSP tags. They are basically meant for componentizing presentation level logic. They are very similar to beans except the fact that Beans are used to separate Business logic.

 

JSP Examples

  1. Calculate a factorial by using while loop
    In this example we are going to find out the factorial of 12 by using the while loop. In while loop the loop will run until the condition we have given gets true.
       
  2. Calculate factorial
    After going through this example you will be understand how you can calculate the factorial by using recursion in jsp. To make a program on factorial, firstly it must be clear what is recursion.
      
  3. Celsius to Fahrenheit
    Celsius is a unit to measure temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degree and boiling point is 100 degree. This unit is discovered by Celsius in 1742, a Swedish astronomer and physicist, he has invented the centigrade, or Celsius thermometer divided between the freezing and boiling points of water into 100 parts.
      
  4. Comment
    In a jsp we should always try to use jsp- style comments unless you want the comments to appear in the HTML. Jsp comments are converted by the jsp engine into java comments in the source code of the servlet that implements the Jsp page.
      
  5. Html tag inside out implicit object
    In this program we are going to use a html tag inside a out object. out object is used to display the content on the browser. To make this program run use out object inside which define some html code along with the content you want to display on the browser
      
  6. Jsp methods
    In this example  we are going to show you how we can declare a method and how we can used it. In this example we are making a method named as addNum(int i, int b) which will take two numbers as its parameters and return integer value.
      
  7. multiple method
    Jsp is used mainly for presentation logic. In the jsp we can declare methods just like as we declare methods in java classes. Methods can be declared in either declaration directive or we can declare it in scriptlet. If we declare method inside declaration directive, then the method is applicable in the whole page.
       
  8. Passing Array method
    Array is a collection of similar data type. It is one of  the simplest data structures. Arrays holds equally sized data elements generally of the similar data type.
      
  9. Two index 
    In this example we will show how we can use two indexes in a for loop. We can solve this problem by using for loop defined inside the scriptlet directive.
      
  10. Celsius To Fahrenheit
    In this example you will learn how to convert the temperature Celsius to Fahrenheit. To change the Celsius to Fahrenheit we have the formula Fahrenheit = 32 + 9*c/5.
      
  11. JSP Methods
    In this example we are going to show you how we can declare a method and how we can used it. In this example we are making a method named as addNum(int i, int b) which will take two numbers as its parameters and return integer value.
     
  12. Multiple Methods
    Jsp is used mainly for presentation logic. In the jsp we can declare methods just like as we declare methods in java classes. Methods can be declared in either declaration directive or we can declare it in scriptlet.

    In jsp the session is by default true, if we don't declare a session =  "true" inside the directive, then the session is still available as it is by default true.
     
  8. JSP: View Session
    The view consists of the Html page or the jsp components that provide the user interface. View is what we see. It is mainly for presentation.
     
  9. Duplicated Session Variables
    We don't have any need to create a new session variable because it has been created by the JSP container for you.
