1. What is supported by the JSP service?
   
   The current JSP service supports the execution of Java Server Pages. These are files which have the suffix ".jsp" for their file name.
   
   
2. What is a JSP file?
   

   A JSP file is used as a method for creating dynamically generated web content. In other words, you can display information or responses on your website based on information input by people viewing your website. This functionality is similar to using ColdFusion, PHP or ASP.
   

3. Can I run Java Servlets?
   
   Not at the present time. Support for Java Servlets is currently in development.
   
   
4. How do I enable the JSP service?
   
   In order to enable JSP support, please contact our technical support center at 610.966.5635 for assistance.
   
   
5. How do I disable the JSP service?
   
   In order to disable JSP support, please contact our technical support center at 610.966.5635 for assistance.
   
   
6. After I make my request, how long will it take for the service to be enabled or disabled?
   
   Please allow two business days for JSP support to be activated or deactivated on your end user's domain.
   
   
7. Where should my end users upload my JSP files so they will work?
   
   End users can upload and run their ".jsp" files from anywhere within their /public/directory.
   
   
8. Where should my end users upload their Java class files (and associated resources)?
   

   End users can upload their Java class files and associated resources into /public/WEB-INF/classes/ directory . This directory contains any Java class files (and associated resources) required for the application, including non-servlet classes that are not combined into JAR files. If the classes are organized into Java packages, the end user must reflect this in the directory hierarchy under /WEB-INF/classes/.

   For example, a Java class named com.mycompany.mypackage.MyServlet would need to be stored in a file named /WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/mypackage/ MyServlet.class.
   

9. Where should my end users upload their JAR files?
   

   End users can upload their JAR files into /WEB-INF/lib/ . This directory holds JAR files that contain Java class files (and associated resources) required for the user's application, such as third party class libraries or JDBC drivers. The classes in the / WEB-INF/classes/ directory, as well as all classes in JAR files found in the / WEB-INF/lib/ directory, are made visible to other classes within the user's particular web application. If the user includes all of the required library classes in one of these locations, he must check licenses for redistribution rights for any third party libraries he utilizes.
