Servlets are Java classes. They allow Java programmers to work in a "Java" environment.
JSPs are files that get compiled into Java classes on the fly. Their appearance is more like ASP, or PHP than like Java source files.
They allow web designers to work in an "HTML" like environment.
<opinion>
It's the power to combine the two that makes Server Side Java vastly superior to everything that came before it.

Some teams use a standard of "No Java in JSPs" and "No HTML outside JSPs". This sounds harsh, but helps you focus on separation of concerns. It still leaves you CSS, JavaScript and tags to play with for fancy rendering.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
