page implicit object:

In JSP, page is an implicit object of type Object class.This object is assigned to the reference of auto generated servlet class. It is written as:
Object page=this;
For using this object it must be cast to Servlet type.For example:
<% (HttpServlet)page.log("message"); %>
Since, it is of type Object it is less used because you can use this object directly in jsp.For example:
<% this.log("message"); %>

exception implicit object

In JSP, exception is an implicit object of type java.lang.Throwable class. This object can be used to print the exception. But it can only be used in error pages.It is better to learn it after page directive. Let's see a simple example:

Example of exception implicit object:

error.jsp


  1. <%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>  
  2. <html>  
  3. <body>  
  4.   
  5. Sorry following exception occured:<%= exception %>  
  6.   
  7. </body>  
  8. </html>
