The HRApp application uses JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology to display data. JSP technology provides a simple, fast way to create server-independent and platform-independent dynamic Web content. A JSP page has the .jsp extension. This extension notifies the Web server that the page should be processed by a JSP container. The JSP container interprets the JSP tags and scriptlets, generates the content required, and sends the results back to the client as an HTML or XML page.
To develop JSP pages, you use some or all of the following:
HTML tags to design and format the dynamically generated Web page
Standard JSP tags or Java-based scriptlets to call other components that generate the dynamic content on the page
JSP tags from custom tag libraries that generate the dynamic content on the page
