JSP simple problem

Hey,
This may be a stupid question but thought of asking here.
It was saying that html is client side and php is server side like wise is JSP client side? As i know Servlet is server side but what make me confused was since JSP is going ultimately going to be a Servlet.

Thank You.

Hi,

JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a Java technology that allows software developers to create dynamically generated web pages, with HTML, XML, or other document types, in response to a Web client request.
The technology allows Java code and certain pre-defined actions to be embedded into static content.
This should suffice your doubt.

JSP is a server-side technology. You might find this article helpful

It is no longer acceptable to embed Java code in JSPs.

Also, if you are going to copy something you found on the web, please cite your source. Don't just post it as if you wrote it.

JSP 'runs' in the server side, and it produces an html-based response which will be sent to the client. And thus what you can see in the browser, is the html-based output which is generated by the jsp. JSP does this html generation in the server side, and the web browser does the html rendering part in the client side.
