11.3. Creating JSP Files
Problem
You want to write JSP files and view them in a web browser.
Solution
Create and edit JSP files in Eclipse.
Discussion
As with any other project, you can use Eclipse to write and store
.jsp files that can be used in servlet
containers. At its simplest, Eclipse will enable you to create these
files, and you can copy them to the correct directory in your web

<HEAD>
<TITLE>JSP Sample</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>JSP Sample</H1>

</BODY>
</HTML>An easy way to create this JSP file is to enter it into Eclipse, as

greeting.jsp, to hold the JSP code.
There’s no syntax checking going on here; Eclipse is
just using its standard, default editor.
Tip
If you do want to check syntax of JSP documents, give the XML editor named XML Buddy a try. It’s available for free at http://www.xmlbuddy.com.
