Overview
Using Java and JSP with your zimlets allows you to incorporate server-side processing with your zimlet.
JSP
JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow you to create dynamic page content with Java. The JSP pages are executed on the server. JSP pages can be included with your zimlet. To reference a JSP page from your zimlet, you need to determine the page (i.e. resource) location.
If you plan to call your JSP page from the Zimlet Definition File (for example, from an <actionUrl> element), the path to the JSP is:
/service/zimlet/{zimlet-name}/{jsp-file-name}.jsp
For example, calling a JSP file named "jspfile.jsp" (located at the root of your zimlet package) from an <actionUrl> element:
<actionUrl method="get" target="/service/zimlet/com_zimbra_simplejspaction/jspfile.jsp" />
Note: if using the Development Directory, the path will include _dev. For example:
<actionUrl method="get" target="/service/zimlet/_dev/com_zimbra_simplejspaction/jspfile.jsp" />
