Take a look at why you should avoid having Java code in your JSP.

Going on to your question, this page prints out something like this:
1564941393681<html><h1>tttttttttttttttttttttt</h1></html>

That's not a valid web page. A web page should have a body containing the content. And it shouldn't have random characters (from your loop) before the open html tag.

The problem isn't that values are output in the loop. The problem is that they happen before the <html> tag and there is no <body> tag. Forget about JSP for a minute. Try the following steps:

1) On your computer, create a html file that contains a bare bones web page that displays tttttttttttttttttttttt
2) Copy that HTML into your JSP unchanged (back it up first) and confirm it still displays tttttttttttttttttttttt
3) Add a loop inside the body.

And I will strongly reiterate Jeanne's point: Java code in a JSP is a bad and obsolete practice from over 12 years ago. Java scriptlets should never be used in modern JSP pages.

That output (the second one, not the first) looks perfectly reasonable to me. What do you think is wrong with it?

I don't understand what that means. Yes, your code outputs <html> tags and it outputs a value inside a <td> element, which I thought was what you wanted. Perhaps you could explain what you expected, what you got instead, and how the two things are different?

That usually means that the content type is set incorrectly, but I don;t see anywhere you are setting that. is that all of the code? How are you getting to the JSP?

And why are you still putting Java code in a JSP?

I still don't understand. You wrote code to produce HTML and it produced HTML. Who is this user who is seeing tags displayed, and what does that mean?

Paul wasn't being rude. He was trying to see if there was a language barrier affected either parties' understanding. (There wasn't.) Also, please don't bump posts. It's only be three hours. In the middle of the night (US time). On the weekend. Due to timezones, it can take 24 hours for someone to get back to you. You just need to wait patiently. People aren't ignoring you.

Now back to your question. This code isn't valid HTML. Tables can't have random things in them - only <tr> tags and nested content in the <tr> tags. I'm thinking that since you don't since you don't specify a content type - as Bear noted - the browser guesses. When it sees valid HTML, it guesses right. When it sees invalid HTML, it no longer does.


By contrast, if you look at the source code for this page, you see that we specify it is an HTML page.

Hello pooja in your page i can see some tags that need are missing.

before your <table> tag and after your <html> tag include <head> and <meta> tag as said by Jeanne.

Still if it is not, just refresh your browser (ctrl+f5). Please try and tell the result :).

It's easy to find information on HTML validation, and even online validators. But Jeanne has already given you the answer: you can't just stick any element into a table.

In any case, I don't think the HTML is your problem. Perhaps you should answer the questions I've already posed?

Earlier I asked:

And why are you still putting Java code in a JSP?

What I would recommend at this point is to create a simple JSP in the root folder of the application with just:

If it does not display just 7 in the browser, your configuration or web structure is wonky.

What server are you using and what version of it? How do you deploy your application? What URL do you access to get to that JSP?

The web-app element is missing something: https://coderanch.com/how-to/java/ServletsWebXml

Also, you should always put all classes into packages. You will run into problems otherwise.
