CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

3.1 SOFTWARE :

3.1.1 JSP (JAVA SERVER PAGES)

1. Server-side Technology: Java Server Pages (JSP) is a technology used to create

dynamic web pages on the server side, allowing the inclusion of Java code within
HTML pages.

2. Extension of Servlets: JSP is an extension of Java Servlet technology, providing a

simpler way to write servlets by embedding Java code directly into HTML pages.

3. Separation of Concerns: JSP promotes the separation of concerns by separating

presentation logic (HTML markup) from business logic (Java code), improving code
maintainability.

4. Scripting Elements: JSP supports various scripting elements such as <% ... %>, <%=
... %>, <%! ... %>, which enable the embedding of Java code within JSP pages to
dynamically generate content.

5. Implicit Objects: JSP provides a set of implicit objects like request, response, session,
and application, which are readily available within JSP pages, simplifying interaction
with the servlet environment.

3.1.2 CSS:

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets,

is a style sheet language used for
describing the presentation of a
document written in HTML or XML. It
enables web developers to control the
layout, appearance, and styling of web
pages.
