Creating and Executing JSP

The following are the steps for creating and executing JSP in tomcat using eclipse IDE.

Create a new Tomcat Project as we have done in previous step. Now select TomcatProject in the workspace and right click on it then select New > File. Give the file name JSPDemo.jsp and click Finish.

Add the following code to the file JSPDemo.jsp and save it.

<html>

<title>JSP Demo</title>

<body bgcolor="blue" text="white">



<%@ page language = "java" %>

<%@ page import = "java.util.*" %>

<%@ page contentType = "TEXT/HTML" %>



<H1>

     <% if (Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM)

     { %>

                 Good Morning !

     <% } else { %>

                 Good Afternoon!

     <% } %>

</H1>

<H2> If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've integrated Tomcat and Eclipse successfully. Congratulations!</H2>

<H3> The current time is: <%out.println(new java.util.Date()); %> </H3>

</body>

</html>

Start Tomcat by pressing Start Tomcat button in the toolbar.

The log of startup of Tomcat will appear in the Eclipse console view.

Open a web browser and go to the URL http://localhost:8080/TomcatProject/JSPDemo.jsp . A page will load and you will get the following figure if followed all the above steps.
