JSP Custom Tag Libraries

A JavaServer Page (JSP) is a HTML Web page that contains code which executes application logic to generate dynamic content. The page is created at the time it is requested. JSP pages are compiled into servlets; the code they contain is executed by the server. For more information on JSPs, see the Sun Microsystems Web site: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/.

The power of a JSP page is in the tags that it contains. JSP tags are similar to HTML tags, except they contain a reference to Java implementation classes rather than to instructions on how to display the tag body.
