Term Definition
JSP A server side technology that enables you to develop and
maintain dynamic web pages. It extends the functionality of web-
based applications by providing dynamic content from a web
server to a client browser over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP).
Servlet A Java Servlet is a programming object that generates dynamic
content and runs as part of a server application. It receives client
requests, processes them, and generates responses.
NSJSP Servlet
Container
A servlet container is a program that executes servlets. A servlet
container provides an environment in which you can deploy,
execute, and manage web applications implemented with servlets
or JSPs.
Servlet Server Class Refers to one of the server classes configured with an installation
of NSJSP. Each installation of NSJSP results in one server class
which hosts web applications and processes requests for user
applications. The server class that will host web applications and
process requests for user applications is referred to as the Servlet
Server Class.
Session object Also called an HTTP Session Object, it is a Java object. It is used
to store state between client interactions with web application
servlets executing in NSJSP.
