What is JSP file?

The .JSP file is a server file. Contains the code of a page written using Java technology. The code is executed on a server equipped with a Java engine. The operating system is analogous to ASP.NET and PHP. Upon request of the .JSP page, the user does not receive the code, but the result file generated for him by the server using this code. The output file is usually in .HTML, so the target user does not need Java. This technology allows you to generate more complex and functional pages.

How to open JSP file?

The main problem with Java Server Page is that the JSP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that JSP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JSP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Safari

The first step is to check if the computer has the Safari program installed. To do this, enter the name Safari into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JSP with Safari. Below you will find a list of applications that support JSP files.

Programs to open JSP file

Remember to download programs supporting JSP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Safari with JSP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JSP file still does not use the Safari program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Safari application as the default for handling the JSP file.

Step 3. Update Safari to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Safari program with the Java Server Page file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JSP file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to JSP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JSP file. Sometimes virus-infected JSP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JSP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JSP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JSP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the JSP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the JSP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
