Calling a Java class from a JSP involves using JavaBeans or servlets to encapsulate the business logic and then accessing the JavaBean's methods or servlet's functionalities within the JSP page. Here are the steps to do it:
Step 1: Create a Java Class (JavaBean or Servlet) Create a Java class that contains the business logic or data processing you want to use in your JSP. For example, let's create a simple JavaBean that generates a greeting message:

package com.example;
public class GreetingBean {
public String generateGreeting(String name) {
return "Hello, " + name + "!";
}
}
Step 2: Compile the Java Class Compile the Java class using a Java compiler, and ensure the compiled class file is available on the classpath or within the WEB-INF/classes directory of your web application.

Step 3: Create the JSP Page Create a JSP page where you want to call the Java class. For this example, create a JSP file named greeting.jsp.
Step 3: Create the JSP Page Create a JSP page where you want to call the Java class. For this example, create a JSP file named greeting.jsp.
Step 4: Import the Java Class At the top of the greeting.jsp page, import the Java class you want to use:
Step 4: Import the Java Class At the top of the greeting.jsp page, import the Java class you want to use:
<%@ page import="com.example.GreetingBean" %>
Step 5: Instantiate the Java Class Instantiate the Java class in the JSP page:
Step 5: Instantiate the Java Class Instantiate the Java class in the JSP page:
<%
GreetingBean greetingBean = new GreetingBean();
%>
Step 6: Call the Java Class Method Call the Java class method and use its return value in your JSP page:
Step 6: Call the Java Class Method Call the Java class method and use its return value in your JSP page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Calling Java Class from JSP</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Greeting Example</h1>
<% String name = "John"; %>
<p><%= greetingBean.generateGreeting(name) %></p>
</body>
</html>
In this example, we are using the generateGreeting() method of the GreetingBean class to display a personalized greeting on the web page.
Step 7: Deploy and Run Deploy the web application to a servlet container like Apache Tomcat, and access the greeting.jsp page through the web server. The JSP will render the output with the greeting generated by the Java class.

Note: The above example demonstrates a simple way to call a Java class from a JSP using scriptlets. However, using scriptlets is not recommended for complex applications. Instead, consider using JSTL, Expression Language (EL), or custom tags to handle dynamic content and logic in a more maintainable and organized manner. Additionally, it's a good practice to use the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern, where JavaBeans or servlets act as the Model, JSP as the View, and a controller (such as a servlet) handles the flow of data between the Model and the View.
