JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology provides a quick, easy way to create Web pages with both static and dynamic content. JSPs are text-based documents that contain static markup, usually in HTML or XML, as well as Java content in the form of scripts and/or calls to Java components. JSPs extend the Java Servlet API and have access to all Java APIs and components.
You can use JSPs in many ways in Web-based applications. As part of the J2EE application model, JSPs typically run on a Web server in the middle tier, responding to HTTP requests from clients, and invoking the business methods of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components on a transaction server.
JSP pages built with PowerBuilder support version 1.2 of the JavaServer Pages specification, version 2.3 of the Java Servlet specification, and JDK 1.3 and later. PowerBuilder also supports custom tag libraries that use the JSP 1.2 format. You can choose to deploy a JSP target as a Web application to EAServer, Apache Tomcat, or any JSP 1.2 server for which you can configure command line deployment capabilities.
