Steps for JSP request:

1. When the user goes to a JSP page web browser makes the request via internet.
2. JSP request gets sent to the Web server.
3. Web server recognises the .jsp file and passes the JSP file to the JSP Servlet Engine.
4. If the JSP file has been called the first time,the JSP file is parsed,otherwise Servlet is instantiated.
5. The next step is to generate a special Servlet from the JSP file. All the HTML required is converted to println statements.
6. The Servlet source code is compiled into a class.
7. The Servlet is instantiated,calling the init and service methods.
8. HTML from the Servlet output is sent via the Internet.
9. HTML results are displayed on the user's web browser
