4. Implicit Object in JSP

 

Implicit Object in  JSP


Implicit objects in JSP (JavaServer Pages) are pre-defined objects that are automatically available to developers without the need for explicit declarations. These objects play a crucial role in simplifying the development process by providing access to various aspects of the JSP environment. 


1. request:

   - Represents the client's request to the server.

   - Provides access to parameters submitted with the request, such as form data or query parameters.

   - Example: `request.getParameter("parameterName");`


2. response:

   - Represents the server's response to the client.

   - Allows manipulation of the response, such as setting headers or sending content back to the client.

   - Example: `response.getWriter().write("Hello, World!");`


3. out:

   - Refers to the output stream and is used to send content to the client.

   - Simplifies the process of writing dynamic content within the HTML page.

   - Example: `<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %><%@ page language="java" %>${out.println("Hello, World!");}`


4. config:

   - Represents the servlet configuration information.

   - Provides access to initialization parameters specified in the web.xml file.

   - Example: `config.getInitParameter("parameterName");`


5. application:

   - Represents the servlet context and is shared among all JSP pages in a web application.

   - Allows storing and retrieving attributes that are accessible globally.

   - Example: `application.setAttribute("attributeName", attributeValue);`


6. pageContext:

   - Provides access to various objects, including request, response, session, and application, among others.

   - Used to set and retrieve attributes, forward requests, and manage the page scope.

   - Example: `pageContext.setAttribute("attributeName", attributeValue);`


7. session:

   - Represents the user's session and is unique for each user.

   - Allows storing information that persists across multiple requests from the same user.

   - Example: `session.setAttribute("attributeName", attributeValue);`


8. page:

   - Refers to the current JSP page itself.

   - Provides access to various JSP-specific methods and properties.

   - Example: `<%@ page import="java.util.Date" %><%= new Date() %>`


9. exception:

   - Represents an exception thrown during the execution of the JSP page.

   - Can be used to handle and display error information.

   - Example: `<%@ page isErrorPage="true" %><%= exception.getMessage() %>`


Understanding and effectively using these implicit objects in JSP can greatly enhance the development process by providing convenient access to important aspects of the web application environment.

2. JSP Scripting elements & Directives

  JSP Scriptlet Tag (Scripting elements) JSP scriptlet tag also known as Scriptlets are nothing but java code enclosed within <% and %> tags.  The main purpose of scriptlet tag is to add java code into a JSP page. In JavaServer Pages (JSP), scripting elements are used to embed Java code directly into the HTML content of a JSP page. Scripting elements allow developers to write dynamic content and execute Java code within the JSP file. There are three types of scripting elements in JSP:  Syntax : <% Executable java code %>   or  <jsp:scriptlet>  java code </jsp:scriptlet> 1. Declarations: <%! Declaration %>    - Declarations are used to declare variables or methods in the JSP page.    - They are enclosed between `<%!` and `%>` tags.      - Declarations are typically used for defining variables that can be accessed throughout the entire JSP page.    - Example:   ...

3. JSP Action Tag and Expression Language

  JSP Actions Tag – Java Server Pages - The use of Action Tags is for controlling the behavior of the Servlet Engine. Action Tags are used during the processing phase of a request. - Action Tags allow the dynamic insertion of code into JSP. They start with 'jsp:'. Directives vs Actions - Directives are used during translation phase while actions are used during request processing phase. - Unlike Directives Actions are re-evaluated each time the page is accessed. List of JSP ACtion Tags : <jsp:include> <jsp:forward> <jsp:param> <jsp:useBean> <jsp:setProperty> <jsp:getProperty> <jsp:plugin> <jsp:fallback> <jsp:body> <jsp:element> <jsp:attribute> <jsp:text> JSP (JavaServer Pages) action tags are special tags used in JSP to perform specific actions or operations. They provide a way to include external content, control page flow, work with JavaBeans, and more. Let's go through each of the mentioned JSP actio...

Syntax: JSP code is written between <% %> tags. <%= expression %> is used for embedding expressions in HTML. Why to Learn JSP ? - JSP allows embedding Dynamic Elements in HTML Pages itself instead of having separate CGI files. - JSP pages can be used in combination with servlets that handle the business logic, the model supported by Java servlet template engines. - Using JSP, you can collect input from...
