JavaServer Pages is a technology for creating dynamic content in web pages. Its programming model separates content generation from content presentation. Servlets are server-side Java classes that execute within a web server. To create web applications, JSP pages and servlets must be developed inside a web module.

Web modules have a defined, hierarchical directory structure. The web module root directory contains the document base for files that are served directly to the client and a WEB-INF subdirectory for files needed internally by the web module. Inside the WEB-INF directory is a classes subdirectory, a lib subdirectory, and a web.xml deployment descriptor file.
