yes unless you do JSP precompilation where you compile your JSPs into servlets before hand. A servlet is the "bytecode" class that all these guys are talking about.

The compilation phase merges the HTML and Java and so fourth into a Java class called a Servlet. This is what runs your request from the browser and sends the response back to the user.
