Hi ranchers,
I am confused by such a statement in JSP.

Could you help me explain it?

param is a Map containing request parameters.
So param.start will look for a request parameter called "start", and take its value.
empty checks if a value is null or empty. Si if the "start" parameter does not exist, or if it's value is empty, it will return true.
${!empty param.start} will return true if "start" is not empty.
If this is true, the body tag of the "if" tag will be executed.
