The standard JSP tags are:

• <jsp:useBean> - Allows you to put or look up a bean in the page, request, session, or application scope. (This tag is very useful for maintaining state). JavaBean instances: Recall that the JSP engine only loads a new instance of the bean if it can’t find an existing instance in scope. This means you can use a bean as a storage container that keeps track of the application’s data anywhere within its scope.
• <jsp:setProperty> - Allows you to set the property of a bean that is already defined and in scope. Use the <jsp:setProperty> tag for Bean initialization.
• <jsp:getProperty> - Takes the value of a bean’s property, converts it to a string, and places it in the output stream.
• <jsp:param> – Provides parameters and values to the include, forward, and plugin standard actions.
• <jsp:include> – Includes a page at request time instead of translation time with the @include directive.
• <jsp:forward> – Forwards the request to another resource in the existing Web application.
• <jsp:plugin> – Enables the JSP author to generate HTML using client-browser independent constructs that result in the download and subsequent execution of the specified applet or component (results of the evaluated tag are typically replaced by an <object> or <embed> tag).

There are certain implicit variables available to a JSP:

• request – reference to the HttpServletRequest
• response – reference to the HttpServletResponse
• pageContext – provides access to the namespaces within the JSP
• session – reference to the HttpSession
• application – reference to the ServletContext
• config – reference to the ServletConfig
• page – reference to the current instance of the JSP being accessed; analogous to using this in the generated Servlet for this JSP
• exception – reference to the uncaught exception thrown by a JSP; only available on JSPs with the isErrorPage set to true

The String class represents character strings. All string literals in Java
programs, such as “abc”, are implemented as instances of this class. Strings are
constant; their values cannot be changed after they are created. String buffers
support mutable strings. Because String objects are immutable they can be
shared.

For example:

     String str = "abc";

 is equivalent to:

     char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
     String str = new String(data);

 Here are some more examples of how strings can be used:

     System.out.println("abc");
     String cde = "cde";
     System.out.println("abc" + cde);
     String c = "abc".substring(2,3);
     String d = cde.substring(1, 2);


A JSP oldalak (Java Server Pages) kiterjesztései a java servleteknek amelyek általános kiterjesztései a Java alapon működő webkiszolgáló számítógépeknek. A Java servletek webes környezetben tulajdonképpen a hagyományos CGI technológiát helyettesítik. A
servlet egy webszerver kérelemre dinamikusan betöltődő modul, amely szerver
oldalon, teljesen a Java Virtuális gép belsejében fut le.

Example shell script usage:

• /etc/rc.d/tomcat start
• /etc/rc.d/tomcat stop
• /etc/rc.d/tomcat restart
