Deploy it as a war file in tomcat/glassfish/jboss or any other container and access the jsp page. — hanish.kh, Dec 04 '13 at 10:49

You need a JSP/Serlvet container that can server JSP pages for you. There a number of JSP/Servlet containers available and used but the most commonly used is Apache Tomcat.

To setup Tomcat,

simply download it and extract it into any folder
Next, place your application inside the webapps folder
Start the server.
Open your browser and browse to URL http://localhost:8080, it should open the tomcat's default page
Package your application as war, and place it in the webapps folder of tomcat
Now Access the URL http://localhost:8080/YourApplicatioContext/path/to/jspFile and you will see your JSP file being compiled and served in the browser

You need servlet container, connector component and the JSP engine to run JSP pages. In case of tomcat, Catalina is actually the servlet container. Coyote is the connector that handles the requests and forwards them onto Catalina. Web Pages are then delivered dynamically through Jasper, the JSP engine.
