JSP

    (JSP) A freely available
   specification for extending the Java Servlet API to
   generate dynamic web pages on a web server.  The JSP
   specification was written by industry leaders as part of the
   Java development program.

   JSP assists developers in creating HTML or XML pages that
   combine static (fixed) page templates with dynamic content.
   Separating the user interface from content generation allows
   page designers to change the page layout without having to
   rewrite program code.  JSP was designed to be simpler than
   pure servlets or CGI scripting.

   JSP uses XML-like tags and scripts written in Java to generate
   the page content.  HTML or XML formatting tags are passed
   back to the client.  Application logic can live on the server,
   e.g. in JavaBeans.

   JSP is a cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's Active
   Server Pages, which only runs in IIS on Windows NT.

   Applications written to the JSP specification can be run on
   compliant web servers, and web servers such as Apache,
   Netscape Enterprise Server, and Microsoft IIS that have
   had Java support added.  JSP should soon be available on
   Unix, AS/400, and mainframe platforms.
