Java Server Pages (JSPs)

Java Server Page (JSP) is an HTML Web page that contains additional bits of code that execute application logic to generate dynamic content.

In an OOM, a JSP is represented as a file object and is linked to a component - of type JSP -. The Java Server Page (JSP) component type allows you to identify this component. Components of this type are linked to a single file object that defines the page.

When you set the type of the component to JSP, the appropriate JSP file object is automatically created, or attached if it already exists. You can see the JSP file object from the Files page in the component property sheet.

• JSP Page of the Component
  When you set the type of the component to JSP, the JSP page is automatically displayed in the component property sheet.
• Defining File Objects for JSPs
  The file object content for JSPs is based on a special template called DefaultContent defined with respect to the FileObject metaclass. It is located in the Profile/FileObject/Criteria/JSP/Templates category of the Java object language. This link to the template exists as a basis, therefore if you edit the file object, the link to the template is lost - the mechanism is similar to that of operation default bodies.
• Creating a JSP with the Wizard
  You can create a JSP with the wizard that will guide you through the creation of the component. The wizard is invoked from a class diagram. It is only available if the language is Java.
• Generating JSPs
  The generation process generates only file objects with the Artifact property selected.
• Reverse Engineering JSPs
  You can reverse engineer JSPs code and deployment descriptor into an OOM. The reverse engineering feature reverses the files to create JSP components and reverses the deployment descriptor inside the WAR.
