Java Server Pages (JSP) is a platform independent presentation layer technology that comes with SUN's J2EE platform. JSPs are normal HTML pages with Java code pieces embedded in them. JSP pages are saved to *.jsp files. A JSP compiler is used in the background to generate a Servlet from the JSP page.
