Define implicit objects.- These are the objects that are available for the use in JSP documents.
- They need not be declared.
- These objects are parsed by the JSP engine and inserted into the generated servlet.
- They are the objects that the JSP container makes available to the developers in each page and they can call them directly without declaring them explicitly.
- They are also called as pre-defined variables.
JSP supports nine implicit objects which are as follows:
1. request: It is a HttpServletRequest object associated with the request.
2. response: It is a HttpServletRequest object associated with the response to the client.
3. out: It is the PrintWriter object used to send the output to the client.
4. session: It is the HttpSession object associated with the request.
5. application: It is the ServletContext object associated with the application context.
6. config : It is the ServletConfig object associated with the page.
7. pageContext: It encapsulates the use of server-specific features like higher performance JspWriters.
8. page: It is simply a synonym for this, and is used to call the methods defined by the translated servlet class.
9. Exception: This object allows the exception data to be accessed by the designated JSP.
