How JSP works?How JSP works?
1. Web browser send JSP request2. JSP request send via Internet to the web server3. The web server send the JSP file (template pages) to JSP servlet engine4. Parse JSP file5. Generate servlet source code6. Compile servlet to class7. Instantiate servlet
8. HTML send back to the browser
