Since JSP pages get compiled into servlets, the best place to go is the servlet
specification at <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet>, or any of the many tutorials
and
books on servlets. Equivalents to nearly all of the environment variables a CGI script
sees are available as properties of the "request" implicit object in a JSP page -- for
example, the authenticated user (if any) is available via:
<%
String user = request.getRemoteUser();
%>
