JSP.1.5 Web Applications

A prototypical web application can be composed from:

• Java runtime environment(s) running in the server (required)

• JSP page(s) that handle requests and generate dynamic content

• Servlet(s) that handle requests and generate dynamic content

• Server-side JavaBeans components that encapsulate behavior and state

• Static HTML, DHTML, XHTML, XML, and similar pages.

• Client-side Java applets, JavaBeans components, and arbitrary Java class files

• Java runtime environment(s) (downloadable via the Plugin) running in client(s)

JSP 1.1 supports portable packaging and deployment of web applications through the Servlet 2.2 specification. The JavaServer Pages specification inherits from the servlet specification the concepts of applications, ServletContexts, sessions, requests, and responses. See that specification for more details.
