The JSP is munged into a servlet, and executed by the web
container/servlet engine. This is only occurs (At least with 
Tomcat/iPlanet) the first time a JSP is invoked. JSP is 
actualyl a great piece of technology, and is not web server
specific (ASP for the most part is, though Chilisoft is
supposed to provide the ability to run ASPs on different 
platforms).
