What is the difference between the jsp scriptlet tag, jsp expression?


Asked by Melissa Coffey on Dec 06, 2021 JSP



All varibales are instance variable in the convert servlet.These declaration code will be place outside the service () method in the converted servlet. Scriptlet code is like java logic. you can declare varibales in the scriptlet and do the logic. All the Scriptlet go to inside service () method of the convert servlet.
Additionally,
In Scriptlet tag, it evaluates your Java expression but does not print or show your result in conjunction with the HTML created. The declared variables have a local scope only and hence can't take access from another place in the .jsp. In contrast, the Expression Tag has the capability to evaluate the Java expression.
Likewise, JSP (Java Servlet Pages) expression is tag used to display output streams. Expression tag subpart of the “JSP Scripting elements”. Display the output to the end-user we no need to writeout.println () method because this expression tag is working similarly out.println () method. The expression tag is represented as <%= %>.
Keeping this in consideration,
Given below is the difference between declaration tag and scriptlet tag: Declared inside <%! %> tag. Declared inside <% %> tag. It can declare variables as well as methods. It can declare only variables not methods. This tag is placed outside the _jspService () method. This tag is placed inside the _jspService () method.
Also,
There 3 types of tag in JSP 1. Declaration tag 2. Expression tag 3. Scriptlet tag Each tag has their own specification to insert the code in the JSP application. Declaration tag is used to used to declare variables and methods. Expression tag is used to display output of the JSP application.
