Complete HTML/CSS Course 2022 To make a hyperlink in an HTML page, use the <a> and </a> tags, which are the tags used to define the links. The <a> tag indicates where the hyperlink starts and the </a> tag indicates where it ends. Whatever text gets added inside these tags, will work as a hyperlink.
JSP provides a dynamic interface for the continuously changing data and also it dynamically invokes the server actions. HTML provides a means to give a detailed account of the structure of text-based information in a document. JSP generated dynamic web pages only. Whereas Html generated static web pages only.
Files in /WEB-INF folder are not publicly accessible without using a front controller servlet or a specific tag like <jsp:include> which does either a RequestDispatcher#forward() or RequestDispatcher#include().
If you need to access a JSP file directly by URL, then you should not be placing the JSP in /WEB-INF folder. Put it outside the /WEB-INF folder
WebContent
|-- forms
| |-- CreateNewCustomer.html
| |-- CustomerMenu.html
| `-- CustomerMenu.jsp
|-- WEB-INF
: :
and fix the link accordingly.
<a href="forms/CustomerMenu.jsp">Test new</a>
WEB-INF folder is not accessible outside.
You will either need to move the jsp outside of WEB-INF or use forward request to forward to the jsp.
