About Actuate Information Console pages

Actuate Information Console uses JSPs to generate web pages dynamically before sending them to a web browser. These JSPs use custom tags, custom classes, and JavaScript to generate dynamic web page content. The JavaScript, classes, and tags provide access to other pages, JavaBeans, and Java classes. For example, application logic in Actuate Information Console can reside on the web server in a JavaBean.

Web browsers can request a JSP with parameters as a web resource. The first time a web browser requests a page, the page is compiled into a servlet. Servlets are Java programs that run as part of a network service such as a web server. Once a page is compiled, the web server can fulfill subsequent requests quickly, provided that the page source is unchanged since the last request.
