"First" isn't a valid question.
HTML is never interpreted on the server.
All scriptlets, custom tags, JSTL, and EL expressions are interpreted by the JSP compiler. Everything else becomes println(..) statements (including your HTML, CSS, and Javascript).
None of the server side constructs ever make it down to the browser.
Again, get in the habit of always looking at the HTML source from the browser to help get your head around this.
