4.2.2.3.7: IBM extensions to JSP syntax
Refer to the Sun JSP Specification for the base JavaServer Pages (JSP) APIs. IBM
WebSphere Application Server Version 3.5 provided several extensions to the base APIs.
The backward compatibility of the JSP 1.1 specification to JSP 1.0 allows users to invoke these
APIs without modification.
The extensions belong to these categories:
Extension |
Use |
Syntax for variable data |
Put variable fields in JSP files and have servlets and JavaBeans dynamically
replace the variables with values from a database when the JSP output is returned to
the browser |
Syntax for database access |
Add a database connection to a Web page and then use that connection to query or update
the database. The user ID and password for the database connection can be provided by the
user at request time, or can be hardcoded within the JSP file. |
Scope of variables: Because the values specified by syntax apply only
to the JSP file in which the
syntax is embedded, identifiers and other tag data can be accessed only within
the page.
See the Related information for syntax details.
