JSP is a bit like PHP or ASP, in the sense that it is a sever scripting language. The simple (and somewhat inaccurate) explanation: It's basically Java with a few extra bits.

If you just want a short explanation, Wikipedia have a pretty good one, with a short bit first and then a longer, bit more in-depth bit. Read it here. If you want lots of technical info I'd suggest Sun's JSP pages (Sun is the company behind Java (and in extension JSP)).

Please note that JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that has nothing to do with Java.

A bit like PHP? Dude that's like Java + ASP...ok I've always seen it before...it looks more complicated. But is it more powerful?

Well, servlets are more powerful than ASP and PHP. Although I guess it can depend a bit on how you define powerful of course, but servlets basically let you do anything that normal Java lets you do. Which is quite a bit.

hi friends,

JSP is a technology which combines the power of Java Servlets and html. i.e, the presentation layer and the business logic. In case anyone is unaware, Java servlets are like java program which execute on the server(u can call them programs for server side processing)

basically jsp are converted into servlets by the web server or servlet container.
Its lets u separate the part of presentation from complex logic of processing. It is very powerful technology which allow you to build scalable applications. Features like custom tags add to its power.

The sun's site wud be a good source of information about the same.

Cheers.
