Hello, Jeremy:
If you are familiar with servlets - there isn't much more to know about JSP.
JSP is a "short-hand" for generating servlets. Just few tags to learn.
The advantage of writing JSP tags is that (in our case) apache programs:
parser, compilers, loaders parse these tags, generate servlets, already
familiar to you and load generated classes into the JVM.
So this is all there is to it.
