JSP Expression Tag
The code placed within JSP expression tag is written
to the output stream of the response. So you need not write out.print() to
write data. It is mainly used to print the values of variable or method.

Syntax of JSP expression tag
<%= statement %>
Example of JSP expression tag
In this example of jsp expression tag, we are simply displaying a welcome message.
<html>
<body>
<%= "welcome to jsp" %>
</body>
</html>
Example of JSP expression tag that prints current time
To display the current time, we have used the getTime() method of
Calendar class. The getTime() is an instance method of Calendar class, so we
have called it after getting the instance of Calendar class by the
getInstance() method.
index.jsp
<html>
<body>
Current Time: <%= java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime() %>
</body>
</html>
