We said that servlets and back-end applications, such as databases, supply dynamic content in a result bean.

The JSP accesses the result bean object via a tag. The tag specifies how to find or create a bean.

* If an existing bean is to be accessed, it is either retrieved from the session or the request context.
* If a bean needs to be created, it is instantiated from a serialized bean, or a new bean is constructed.

We give more details on JSP bean syntax in topic four. So for now, this is as far as we’ll go.
