I was trying to see in web.xml, but could not find.

If you want to know the version of JSP and Servlet YOU are using, you only should be aware of as you are making the appropriate use of the features of the versions. For JSP and servlets, we generally do NOT mention the versions specifically as that of XML files.
Whereas if you want to know, what versions are supported in the running/underlying environment -- the Container, you have to read the document/manual from the vendor wherein they would be mentioning the versions of each product/technology.
The ServletContext object has methods called getMajorVersion and getMinorVersion that tell you the Servlet API version. Which JSP version goes with which Servlet version is shown in the link to the Tomcat docs I posted in the other topic where you asked the same question.
In the future, please don't post the same question multiple times.
An Java EE application server is a concrete implementation of the JSP/Servlet API's.
The highest supported Servlet/JSP API version is to be found in the specs/docs of the appserver used.
The actually used Servlet API version is to be found in the web.xml root declaration.
The JSP version usually goes hand in hand with the servlet version as follows:
Servlet 2.5 uses JSP 2.1
Servlet 2.4 uses JSP 2.0
Servlet 2.3 uses JSP 1.2
Servlet 2.2 uses JSP 1.1
Servlet 2.1 uses JSP 1.0
You can use this diagnosis in a JSP page to find it out programmatically:
Not to mention that you shouldn't be using scriptlets in real world.
