Core JSP
In recent years, a large amount of software development activity has migrated from
the client to the server. The client-centric model, in which a client executes complex
programs to visualize and manipulate data, is no longer considered appropriate for the
majority of enterprise applications. The principal reason is deployment—it is a
significant hassle to deploy client programs onto a large number of desktops, and to
redeploy them whenever the application changes. Instead, applications are redesigned
to use a web browser as a "terminal". The application itself resides on the server,
formatting data for the user as web pages and processing the responses that the user fills into web forms.
