As you JSP will compiled in Java file in the end and everything written in JSP will fall under a method(Service) in generated java file. What if you want to add Java code in JSP which should directly be added inside service method in generated file. To fullfil this criteria JSP declaration will be used.
Here we will see to write the JSP. And look how this will be converted into Java by container. Tools/Technology Used Eclipse Indigo Apache Tomcat 7 JDK 1.5 We will first create a web application in Eclipse and write a welcome JSP for the same.

Container takes what you have written in your JSP, translates it into a servlet class source file then compiles that into a java servlet class. And this code would execute in the same as it were written in java file.
