Developing web applications

This page provides a starting point for finding information about web applications, which are comprised of one or more related files that you can manage as a unit, including:

  • HTML files
  • Servlets that can support dynamic web page content, provide database access, serve multiple clients at one time, and filter data
  • Java ServerPages (JSP) files that enable the separation of the HTML code from the business logic in web pages

IBM extensions to the JSP specification make it easy for HTML authors to add the power of Java technology to web pages, without being experts in Java programming.
