You cannot open a JSP file directly in the browser because it is a language "above" HTML. This means that you need a web container to identify the JSP components of the file and allow it to be viewed as an HTML file. The browser does not have native support for identifying these components, which is why you need your project containing the JSP to include the jsp-api and jstl libraries, which are used by the web container to render the page.
A minimal example of a web application using JSP can be seen in this link.
Install a Tomcat:
With Tomcat installed you can start JSP development. To start the development you must create an easyjava directory in C:\Program Files(x86) \ Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0 \ webapps (on Windows) and/usr / java / apache-tomcat-7.0 (on Linux)".
Save the file and open the browser of your choice and type: http://127.0.0.1:8080/easyjava/ola.jsp , as shown 1.
