JSP Expression – Syntax and Example
A JSP expression is used to insert the value of a scripting language expression, converted into a string, into the data stream returned to the client.
When the scripting language is the Java programming language, an expression is transformed into a statement that converts the value of the expression into a String object and inserts it into the implicit out object.
