Building Dynamic Interaction with JSP Web Hosting

java sql windows hostingJSP is a Java based hosting program. This hosting program has many similarities with Microsoft ASP. If you found JSP web hosting in one of your favorite web hosting providers, it means that it can manage and run Java Server Pages. As you read before, there are many similarities between JSP and ASP. However, there are also differences between the two of them. One of the differences is the hosting environment.

JSP is a server-side language. It’s using simple tag-based codes that embedded into the HTML or XML pages to make it more interactive. By putting this code into your HTML or XML pages, you created a platform independent webpage.

It means no matter which browsers that your visitors use when they visits your website, they would see the exact same layout and contents. This is the biggest differences if you compare it with any HTML or XML webpage that has no JSP embedded codes in it.

By using the JSP web developers and designers could get more creative by combining JSP codes with the HTML layout to create a better user interface. JSP is quite different with other CGI scripts. If the CGI scripts require you to create your entire website in one program, JSP allow you to build the dynamic parts of your website separately. So, you don’t have to stick with the same program that you don’t even understand to operate it to create your entire websites.

Here are some of the tags that being used in the Java codes that you need to know:

- Actions: This is an XML-style tag that you can use to perform any slew of functions
- Declarations: <%!declaration%> Use this to declare methods or variables that you have throughout the page
- Expressions: <%=expression%> Expressions could be used to produce results which could be inserted into output stream
- Directives: <%@directive%> This is the instructions processed that should be done when the page is compiled
- Scriptlets: <%scriptlet%> This is a piece of code that can access any declared variables and execute it
- Hidden Comments: <–comment–> The notes that you put on the page and can’t be seen by client
