The reference implementation you find at
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/index.html
contains a miniature webserver that's able to run servlets and that can
compile jsp pages into the corresponding servlet (provided you set
everything up correctly so it can find the compiler in your jdk. It should
be able to start the sun.tool.javac.Main class)
If you follow the steps in the readme.jsp file, it is started and listening
on port 8080 for incoming http requests.
In fact, the 100k jsdk.jar file contains the web server capable of serving
files and running servlets, and the 92k jsp.jar file contains the reference
implementation. It's probably difficult to imagine a webserver being this
small, but it is and it works...
You can see this if you erase the *.java and *.class files in the
servlets/jsp directory or if you change the .jsp files themselves a bit.
The server will regenerate the .java code, compile it and run it to generate
the corresponding html output.
If you want your own webserver to recognize jsp files, then you'll need a
specific extension for that server.
