The HTML Renderer Shootout, Part 1
In this article, we will review 11 different HTML renderers, comparing their features, compliance, and speed; searching for the best one for any project.
Tutorial Details:
When deciding how to rate each renderer, we should consider why we need one. What do we need to do with it? HTML is essentially styled text and images, loaded over a network, with hyperlinks. Java, often called the networked programming language, works with all sorts of network components, including URLs, quite easily. So the key point we are lacking is styled text. HTML (and by HTML I mean HTML, XHTML, and CSS 1/2) has become the standard for styled text. And it's everywhere.
As processor speed and display quality have increased during the last ten years, more and more applications have some form of styled text in them, either for editing or display. A quick look through my Start menu turns up the following: Outlook (HTML email and the "Outlook Today" screen), Media Player (advertising and shortcuts), iTunes (the music store), File Explorer (the stylized sidebar), Trillian chat (for message display), the Address Book, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), and the Palm Desktop. This list doesn't even include the styled wizard text and help files for virtually every application on my computer. These are all programs that don't really have anything to do with HTML. If we count programs that in some way edit or produce HTML, then I've got my editor, jEdit, Photoshop, Flash, and iPhoto. The common thread between all of these is that they have styled text that could be (and often is) HTML.

JSP (JavaServer Pages) is a standard for combining Java and HTML to provide dynamic content in web pages.
With JSP, you embed Java code in HTML using special JSP tags similar to HTML tags. You install the JSP page, which has a .jsp extension, into the WebLogic Server document root, just as you would a static HTML page. When WebLogic Server serves a JSP page..
