Explain the lifecycle of a JSP page.

bookmark

The lifecycle of a JSP page includes the following phases:

  • Translation: The JSP page is translated into a servlet class by the JSP container.
  • Compilation: The generated servlet class is compiled into bytecode by the Java compiler.
  • Initialization: The servlet is initialized, and the init() method is called. This phase is executed only once during the lifecycle.
  • Execution: The service() method of the servlet is called, which handles client requests.
