JSP tutorial Part 5:JSP Tags


JSP Tags
Tags in Jsp:

Tags in JSP can be categorized as
-comments
-Scripting elements
-Directive elements
-Action Elements
·         Anything other than the above mentioned four categories fall under template data.
·         This will include all HTML tags and text.
JSP Comments:
JSP comment marks text or statements that the JSP container should ignore. Following is the syntax of JSP comments:
<%-- comment here --%>
“Note: in HTMl <!- -comment here   --%> “
JSP Scripting Elements
Scripting elements are elements in the JSP page that contains java code. JSP contains 3 types of scripting elements as shown below:
1. Declarations:
–Format: <%! code %>
–Inserted into the body of the servlet class, outside of any existing methods
2. Expressions:
–Format: <%= expression %>
–Evaluated and inserted into the servlet’s output i.e., results in something
like out.print(expression) i.e. expression placed in jspServiceinside
out.print()
3. Scriptlets:
–Format: <% code %>
inserted into the servlet jspService() method

JSTL-JSP Standard Tag Library part 1

Evolution of JSTL: Java is a flexible, general-purpose programming language, JavaServer pages(JSP) depends on java but hides some of the hard details of writing full- fledged programs.  The JSP Standards Tag Library(JSTL) builds on top of JSP, making it even easier to use. Architecture : In this figure large web applications are designed using java, JSTL, and othe components like databases. In large applications, it's common for requests from web browser to be handled by a java program called a servlet, which interacts with databases and other Java code on the server. The servlet figures out how it wants a response be printed and then forwards the user to the right JSTL page, which takes care of nothing more than presenting information. 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 ...

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...

Java Server page tutorial part 3: JSP Life Cycle

JSP Life Cycle: A JSP life cycle can be defined as the entire process from its creation till the destruction which is similar to a servlet life cycle with an additional step which is required to compile a JSP into servlet. Following are the steps followed by a JSP Container: ◦ Compilation  ◦ Parsing the JSP.  ◦ Turning the JSP into a servlet.  ◦ Compiling  the servlet.  ◦ Initialization ◦ Execution ◦ Cleanup Architecture: 1.       JSP Compilation: When a browser asks for a JSP, the JSP engine first checks to see whether it needs to compile the page.  If the page has never been compiled, or if the JSP has been modified since it was last compiled, the JSP engine compiles the page. The compilation process involves three steps: ◦ Parsing the JSP. ◦ Turning the JSP into a servlet.  ◦ Compiling the servlet.  2.       JSP Initialization: When a container loads a JSP ...
