Course Outline

Introducing Java and JavaServer Pages • What is Java? • Goals for this course: • In Which Environments does Java Run? • What Types of Programs is Java Used to Write? • Java File Types • Whats are Servlets • Adding Servlet/JSP Functionality to Your Web Server • An Example: Examining a Simple JSP that Uses Directives and Expressions: simpledate.jsp • Directives with [Error processing dynamic tag @ : Missing '=' before method name. Example: [Error processing dynamic tag methodName() : Unknown method methodName()]] • Expressions with [Error processing dynamic tag : Missing left parenthesis '('. Example: [Error processing dynamic tag methodName() : Unknown method methodName()]] • Examining a JSP that Uses Scriptlets: simplefor.jsp • Embedding Scriptlets with [Error processing dynamic tag : Missing '=' before method name. Example: [Error processing dynamic tag methodName() : Unknown method methodName()]] • Java Operators • Implicit Objects • Primer on Classes, Objects, and Packages • Comments • Lab: Completing a JSP that Generates a Formatted Date
