Appendix D. JSP API Reference

Besides the JSP elements described in Appendix A, the JSP specification also defines a number of Java classes and interfaces. Instances of some of these classes are assigned to the implicit variables available to scripting elements and Expression Language (EL) expressions in a JSP page. Others are used to develop custom actions and to allow JSP container vendors to encapsulate internal implementations. This appendix describes the classes and interfaces in all these categories in the JSP 2.0 specification, as well as the classes and interfaces exposed through the JSP types defined by the Servlet 2.4 specification.
