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.
PowerBuilder 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 4.2.2 and later
Apache Tomcat 4.1.13 and later
Any other JSP 1.2 server for which you can configure command line deployment capabilities
Sybase Enterprise Portal instead of a JSP server
For more information, see the JavaServer Pages specification, and the Java Servlets specification.
