About

Apache Sling is an open-source web framework that uses a Java Content Repository (JCR), such as Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage content.

It maps HTTP request URLs to content resources, supports server-side scripting with languages like JSP, JavaScript, Ruby, and Velocity, and integrates with the OSGi framework for modularity.

Jakarta Server Pages (JSP) is a technology that enables developers to create dynamic web content using XML markup, custom tags, expression language, and Java.

It provides directives for page configuration, actions for controlling runtime behavior, scripting elements for inline Java code, a tag extension mechanism, and templates to separate logic from presentation.
