JSP Internals

How does JSP (JavaServer Page) work? A JSP is a HTML page that contains embedded Java code and JSP tags which come in packages called "tag libs". The web server forwards requests to URLs that end with .jsp to the JSP container. The JSP container automatically compiles the JSP into a Servlet that provides the JSP with some predefined Java variables, and writes the JSP HTML text into the Servlet response.

Further processing is the same as for Servlets (for more details see Servlet internals).
