Java Server page (JSP) tutorial

Introduction:
JSP Tutorial


Java Server Pages (JSP) is a technology that helps software developers create dynamically generated web pages based on HTML , XML, or other document types.
A JSP file is similar to an HTML file. Unlike HTML files, JSP files can contain java code within <% and %> tags.
Released in 1999 by Sun Microsystems, JSP is similar to PHP, but uses Java programming language.
To deploy and run Java Server Pages, a compatible web server, such as Apache Tomcat or Jetty is required.

Why JSP:

With servlets, it is easy to:
◦ Read form data
◦ Read HTTP request headers
◦ Set HTTP status codes and response headers
◦ Use cookies and session tracking
◦ Share data among servlets
◦ Remember data between requests
But, it sure is a pain:

Using println() statements to generate HTML
◦ Coding the presentation logic and business logic is not a good practice
◦ A change in one of these requires the modification of the entire code
◦ Programmers with different skill sets are required for creating and maintaining these Servlets, being java programs, are best suited for coding business logic
A technology with the power of Servlets and ease of HTML is required to code presentation logic, so that the web designers can also easily use it.
Java Server Page (JSP) is one such technology that fits into the above mentioned statement.
Note : JSP doesn't give you anything that you could not in principle do with a servlet.

But it is convenient to write (and to modify!) regular HTML than to have a multiple println statements that generate the HTML.

    The main motive of the Big data app development is to spread the knowledge so that they can give more big data engineers to the world.

Applications of Insulating Materials

All electrical systems require some kind of insulation to prevent short circuits and leaking currents. 3 forms of insulators: solid, liquid and gaseous Performance of these insulators depend on the temperature Classification according to their temperature rating. Impregnation: Letting the solid material absorb some liquid With the advent of new materials, the classification has been modified by International Electrotechnical Commission: The transformer insulation: (a) conductor or turn-to-turn insulation, (b) coil-to-coil insulation, (c) low voltage coil-to-earth insulation, (d) high voltage coil-to-low voltage coil insulation, and (e) high voltage coil-to-ground insulation. Transformer oil -- provides the required dielectric strength and insulation -- cools the transformer by circulating itself through the core and the coil structure. -- should be in the liquid state over the complete operating range of temperatures between -40°C and+50°C. -- gets o...

JSTL-JSP Standard Tag Library part 2

Evolution of JSTL-JSP Standard Tag Library As JSP grew in popularity, it became clear that different sites' custom tags fell into familiar, frequently used patterns. For example, many pages needed to loop over data to print tables and lists. Vendors of JSP containers and members of the open-source community tried to address these needs by providing collections of tags --tag libraries--that solved common problems. While many JSP page authors used these libraries, nothing tied them together. To address this fragmentation, the Java Community Process --the same group that now maintains and standardizes JSP itself --decided to offer a standard tag library. JSTL 1.0, to include tags for the following common tasks:          •Looping over data to produce tables, lists, etc.          •Conditional operations          •Importing and processing data from other web pages         ...

PV/GENSET HYBRID

Introduction: PV and genset systems do not have much in common. It is precisely for this reason that they can be mated to form a hybrid system that goes far in overcoming the drawbacks to each technology. Table 10.1 lists the respective advantages and disadvantages. As the sun is a variable energy source, PV system designs are increased in size (and therefore cost) to allow for a degree of system autonomy. Autonomy is required to allow for provision of reliable power during "worst case" situations, which are usually periods of adverse weather, seasonally low solar insulation values or an unpredicted increased demand for power. The addition of autonomy to the system is accomplished by increasing the size of the PV array and its requisite energy storage system (the battery). When a genset is added, additional battery charging and direct AC load supply capabilities are provided. The need to build in system autonomy is therefore greatly reduced. When energy demands cannot b...
